Could some of the most daunting problems of our time — division, conflict, and increasing isolation — stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of reality? That’s the provocative question at the heart of Jim Ferrell's new book, You and We: A Relational Rethinking of Work, Life, and Leadership.

Written in the style of a business fable, like his previous bestsellers Leadership and Self-Deception and The Anatomy of Peace, the book weaves together science, philosophy, and decades of experience in organizational development to reveal a radically different way of seeing organizations — as networks of relationships. And the key to strengthening the relational fabric that holds us together lies not in individuals but in the space between them.
