A "thought-provoking and entertaining" ("The Washington Post")
exploration of the invisible forces that influence your life--and
how understanding them improves everything you do.
The world around you is pulling your strings, shaping your private
thoughts and innermost instincts. And you don't even realize it.
Every day we overlook the enormous power of situations in our
lives. We fail to appreciate that life's basic details--where we
are, whom we're with, and even whether we're in a hurry--affect how
we think and act. Sommers argues that understanding the powerful
influence of context forces us to rethink how we see ourselves and
makes us more effective at work, at home, and in our daily lives.
He describes the pitfalls that we should avoid and offers
compelling suggestions on how we can make better decisions and
smarter observations about the world around us. Insightful,
engaging, and readable, "Situations Matter "is a primer on the
importance of context in our lives and on what really makes people
tick.
