The Power Paradox by Professor Dacher Keltner
How We Gain and Lose Influence
Power arises from prosocial traits—empathy, generosity and emotional intelligence—but once people attain influence they often become less compassionate, more impulsive and entitled, which corrodes relationships and undermines their authority; drawing on psychological and neuroscientific research, the book explains this paradoxical cycle and offers practical ways to cultivate responsible, accountable leadership and social systems that check abuse and sustain beneficial power.
