Why read it?
1 author picked Dignity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Drawing on her extensive experience in international conflict resolution along with insights from evolutionary biology, psychology, and neuroscience, she explains what the elements of dignity are and how violating them triggers defensiveness.
