false 53472 2 In business, politics, marriage, indeed in any significant relationship, trust is the essential precondition upon which all real success depends. But what, precisely, is trust? How can it be achieved and sustained? And, most importantly, how can it be regained once it has been broken? In Building Trust, Robert C. Solomon and Fernando Flores offer compelling answers to these questions. They argue that trust is not something that simply exists from the beginning, something we can assume or take for granted; that it is not a static quality or "social glue." Instead, they assert that trust is an emotional skill, an active and dynamic part of our lives that we build and sustain with our promises and commitments, our emotions and integrity. In looking closely at the effects of mistrust, such as insidious office politics that can sabotage a company's efficiency, Solomon and Flores demonstrate how to move from naive trust that is easily shattered to an authentic trust that is sophisticated, reflective, and possible to renew. As the global economy makes us more and more reliant on "strangers," and as our political and personal interactions become more complex, Building Trust offers invaluable insight into a vital aspect of human relationships. 52148 2001 Building Trust: In Business, Politics, Relationships, and Life total:8|5:2|4:3|3:1|2:1|1:1| 8 28 11 0 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 0 0 false Sun Aug 30 12:36:38 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 12:36:40 -0700 2009 3906024 0195126858 9780195126853 0 0 3.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3906024.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 0 0 false Thu Aug 20 14:46:14 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 14:46:14 -0700 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 5 0 false Wed Jul 29 07:57:52 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 07:58:24 -0700 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 5 0 false Wed Jul 08 21:42:35 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 21:42:35 -0700 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 2 0 false Fri May 15 08:41:32 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 08:41:32 -0700 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 4 0 false Thu Apr 23 06:27:12 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 06:27:12 -0700 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 3 0 false Tue Jan 13 08:47:36 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 08:47:52 -0800 2009 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 4 0 false Sun Dec 21 09:33:01 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 09:33:01 -0800 2008 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 0 0 false Mon Feb 11 12:59:44 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 12:59:44 -0800 2008 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 4 0 false Fri Dec 21 11:44:28 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 21 11:44:28 -0800 2007 53472 0195161114 9780195161113 8 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170425061m/53472.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53472.Building_Trust_In_Business_Politics_Relationships_and_Life 1 0 false Fri Mar 09 10:31:16 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 10:31:16 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3906024
