“A refreshing and enlightening new perspective on what it means to be powerful.”—Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet We all know what it looks like to use power badly. But how much do we really know about how to use power well? There is so much we get wrong about power: who has it...

We watch people make naked power grabs and cringe, turning away from embracing power as something that is within the realm of the narcissistic. It feels incongruent with our values, with being a good person. What Gruenfeld argues is that it is, in fact, impossible to be a good person - one who is respected by others and ourselves - without getting comfortable with power. A good person does what's best for the group and sometimes that means standing up for others with less power, putting a bad actor in their place or letting someone else be in charge so that the group can move forward.
