Publisher's Synopsis
We are living in a time of mounting political segregation that's threatening to tear us apart. The result is that we've become increasingly tribal, and the narratives of life that we get exposed to have become echo chambers in which we hear our beliefs reinforced and others' beliefs demonized. Global diversity and inclusion expert Howard J. Ross, along with co-author JonRobert Tartaglione, explores how our human need to belong is the driving force behind why our world is so divided. At the core of tribalism exists a paradox: we are hardwired with the need to belong, which makes us feel deeply connected with some, yet deeply divided from others. These tensions seep into our daily lives, and we become secluded within our self-identified tribes. Drawing on Ross's decades of leadership experience, the authors probe the depths of this tribalism, the role social media plays in exacerbating it, and how we can combat it so that we can develop ways to bridge the divide and move toward a more harmonious future.
