Description

When people who interact do not share the same abilities, orientations, or beliefs, the results are often disastrous, leaving everyone involved feeling misunderstood, underappreciated, and resentful.

Why does this happen? How can we find and focus on the strengths in our differences, rather than the weaknesses?

How can we accept that our differences bring with them different ways of looking at a problem, and that these different ways of looking at things lead to unique, and sometimes conflicting, solutions to problems? In this volume, editors John D. Robinson and Larry C. James have assembled renowned leaders, scholars, and educators in order to show how these differences can facilitate, not hinder, our progress.

They provide thought-provoking and insightful essays about how having different physical abilities, sexual orientations, races, and religions affects how people interact.

Each chapter is written by a member of a different group and presents real-life stories about interactions within that group.

The universality of these stories allows the reader to empathize with diverse points of view, generating material for group discussion and debate.

The book's aim is to enrich interactions among different types of people by exploring how our differences can shape our perceptions of events in particular and life in general by focusing on the strengths in our diversity, rather than the conflicts brought about by it.
