{"product_id":"2940170760145","title":"The Wisest One in the Room: How You Can Benefit from Social Psychology's Most Powerful Insights","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned psychologists describe the most useful insights from social psychology that can help make you \"wise\": wise about why people behave the way they do, and wise about how to use that knowledge in understanding and influencing the people in your life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen faced with a challenge, we often turn to those we trust for words of wisdom. Friends, relatives, and colleagues: someone with the best advice about how to boost sales, the most useful insights into raising children, or the sharpest take on an ongoing conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Wisest One in the Room\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned social psychologists Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross ask: Why? What do these people know? What are the foundations of their wisdom? And, as professors and researchers who specialize in the study of human behavior, they wonder: What general principles of human psychology are they drawing on to reach these conclusions? They begin by noting that wisdom, unlike intelligence, demands some insight into people--their hopes, fears, passions, and drives. It's true for the executive running a Fortune 500 company, the candidate seeking public office, the artist trying to create work that will speak to the ages, or the single parent trying to get a child through the tumultuous adolescent years. To be wise, they maintain, one must be psych-wise. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105167818992,"sku":"2940170760145","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170760145_p0.jpg?v=1763716694","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170760145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
