Title: An Insightful Twist on the Golden Rule
Review: Very helpful. The Art of Connecting has several nuggets that you can take and apply immediately, built around what the authors call the "Titanium Rule" -- "do unto others according to their druthers." It's a powerful concept, yet a real challenge; how to know how others want to be treated, especially people from very different backgrounds?The focus of the book is how to "tune in" to these "druthers"; the subtle clues that we often just let float by unrecognized and don't build upon. There are chapters on connecting one-on-one, taking other points of view, and working in diverse groups. Once the concepts are out of the way, the authors provide lots of examples and case studies to build on the learning.Bottom line...these concepts have helped me connect better through greater awareness of cues I had been missing. It's easy to put into practice and start to see benefits, if you're willing to invest a bit of effort. I don't think you can go wrong with this book.
