"Studies show that asking for help makes us better and less frustrated at our jobs. It helps us find new opportunities and new talent. It unlocks new ideas and solutions and enhances team performance. And it helps us get the things we want outside of work as well. Yet we rarely give ourselves permission to ask. Luckily, the research shows that asking for--and getting--what we need is much easier than we tend to think." -- dust jacket

Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other?

Politics, religion, race-we can't talk about topics like these at work, right? But in fact, these conversations are happening all the time, either in real life or virtually.
