Despite our deep longing for a sense of belonging, many of us feel isolated. The rise of technology and modern workplace practices has further disconnected us, even as we remain constantly connected. As our human interactions have dwindled, so have our happiness levels, leading to a crisis in mental health that will have far-reaching consequences for years.

What Christine Porath has discovered through her extensive research is that leaders, organizations, and managers from all sectors can recognize the cost but lack effective solutions for implementing the cure: community. Drawing from statistics on the experiences of hundreds of thousands of people across six continents, Porath offers a compelling perspective on the potential for change. By uniting people, sharing information, granting autonomy, fostering a respectful environment, practicing radical candor, providing a sense of meaning, and enhancing personal well-being, anyone can contribute to the flourishing of a community.

The applications of Porath's findings are vast, and the stories and case studies are inspiring and uplifting. This insightful exploration of community-building will motivate readers to unite and nurture their communities, whether in the workplace, PTA, sports, or places of worship, and help them thrive.
