Situations Matter: Understanding How Context Transforms Your World

By Sam Sommers

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences, Self-Help

Social psychologist Sam Sommers shows how much our behavior and judgments depend on the situations we are in, often more than on our personalities. Using research and everyday examples, he explains why bystanders fail to help, why first impressions mislead, how groups shape decisions and how context affects love, conflict and identity. Sommers argues that understanding these forces can help us read others more accurately and make better choices.
