Trade Review"In a moment when victims of the most pressing human problems are robbed of their humanity, a pioneering social scientist offers a road map for restoring dignity and compassion. This is an important, engaging exploration of how we can create a world where people feel seen and respected." -- Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B
"Rigorously researched and thoroughly provocative. A brilliant, timely reminder of how the power of humanity touches all aspects of our lives." -- Jonah Berger, author of Contagious and Invisible Influence
"What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to see others as fully human? To make others feel fully human? In this compelling book, Adam Waytz shows how the answer to these questions can help us reduce human conflict and improve lives." -- Carol Dweck, author of Mindset
"This is an enlightening book about human-ness, the inherent value it provides, and how we are losing it. More compellingly than I’ve ever seen, Waytz argues that it’s a poor choice when we allow present-day forces of separation to take the human from our relationships: the relation gets removed, leaving just the ships, passing at sea." -- Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion
"Adam Waytz is a leading thinker about the issues arising from the emerging era of pervasive human-machine interaction. Drawing from his social psychology foundation,
The Power of Human offers important insight and practical suggestions to master this new definition of humanity." -- Brad Keywell, CEO of Uptake
