Summary

The glut of information that floods our brains each day has quietly taken a very important victim: interpersonal relationships. Strong relationships are crucial for our health and flourishing, and leaders who proactively value relationships are building stronger, healthier, and more successful organizations. In this book, the authors document just how seriously the Information Age has compromised our connection to other people, and offer a compelling, story-based solution.

By interviewing a group of successful and internationally prominent leaders from different careers, backgrounds, skill sets, and schools of thought, the authors offer readers an inspiring antidote to one of the most serious—and underreported—crises of our era. They showcase leaders who couldn’t be more different from media-darling CEOs like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos, who’ve built profit-making machines with ruthless tactics and an almost pathological lack of empathy. Each chapter of the book will end with questions for reflection and take-away tips, making it perfect for a busy reader who wants quick insight, or the leader who wants to use it as a modular curriculum for their organization.
