The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides

為什麼性格不能預測命運、換位思考無法帶來真正的同理心？因為「情境」才是決定人們行為的最終要素！是時候去學會營造情境的技巧，讓每個人都能在群體中得到依靠。 歸屬感是一種受重視、尊重和被關心我們的團體接納的感覺，而這種感覺我們可以在社會生活的每一個角落培養出來。我們的孤獨，往往出於和他人的連結遭到破壞，因而喪失歸屬感所致。因此，如何找回歸屬感、彌合人際關係的裂痕，已是刻不容緩的議題！在《這星球不該孤獨》中，傑佛瑞‧寇恩基於突破性的社會心理學研究，提出了簡單且具體的方案來培養歸屬感。這些解方已證實會產生超乎預期的絕佳效果。 某些微小卻強大的行動可以增強歸屬感。例如：鼓勵人們在面對挑戰前反思自己的核心價值觀，或者表達對某人達到更高標準的能力的信任。廣泛的創新方法將有效地提高工作和學校的成就、跨越政治分歧、減少偏見，甚至有助於身體健康。無論你是主管或員工、老師或學生、父母或照顧者，《這星球不該孤獨》為所有渴望營造友善、和諧與連結的環境的人，提供了充滿希望且非常實用的指引——既是靈感的來源，也是創造包容、理解和同理心世界的路線圖。 各界讚譽 李郁琳｜臨床心理師、作家林俐｜諮商心理師、Podcast《小島生存指南》主持人胡展誥｜諮商心理師許庭韶｜人生設計心理諮商所所長、韶光心理學苑創辦人盧美妏｜人生設計心理諮商所共同創辦人╱諮商心理師簡晉龍｜東吳大學心理學系副教授兼系主任——誠摯推薦（依姓名筆畫排序） 這或許是你讀過關於歸屬感最豐富的一本書……從每一頁汲取的靈感，都讓我們更加了解可能發生的事。這本書重振了這個時代最迫切需要的：希望。——克勞德‧史提爾（Claude M. Steele），著有《韋瓦第效應》 對我們這個支離破碎的時代，這本書是希望的燈塔。一位歸屬感的頂尖專家提供迷人的科學分析與實務，教我們如何打破人與人之間的藩籬，搭建橋梁，通往更尊重彼此的世界。——亞當‧格蘭特（Adam Grant），《逆思維》作者 《這星球不該孤獨》是社會心理學的大作——研究嚴謹、引人入勝，如果你想在學校、在家裡或工作場所激發自己及他人最好的一面，這本書非常實用。在社會如此混亂紛擾、失去連結的時代，傑佛瑞‧寇恩以通過驗證的心理學原則為基礎，提供了極有幫助、充滿希望的指南，正是我們迫切需要的。人人都該讀這本書！——貝佛利‧丹尼爾
