Title: Trust as a Concept
Product review: I was also very disappointed with this book, and kept hoping it would get started - which it does only in the last few pages. The authors spent a lot of time circling around what the concept of trust isn't (a field, unconscious, etc...), even as they continually assert that it is purely dynamic process and not content or 'stuff', and that it only lives in relationships. Then why not more examples and stories about trust itself? The authors seem to be trying to convince themselves that trust can't be defined, or reified, even as they assert their expertise as to its philosophical and conceptual nature. The book added very little to my own evolving sense of the importance of openness and conscious trusting, and I didn't feel the authors trusted me as a reader.It seems the distinction of talking about trusting experiences and talking about trust as a concept got lost, and I question the value of purely making (tangled) assertions about the concept as an entry into the conversation.
