There is only one thing that holds people and nations back. Its a story that explains who they are and what they can and cannot do. Breaking Rank helps you to understand the mind and unlock peoples true potential.
Summary:
How can you motivate people and empower them to make better choices, when stories about their social rank have imprisoned their minds? How can peoples mindset not only negatively influence their own well-being and wealth, but also that of an entire society? This book provides a fresh perspective on the answers, as well as the tools to change that mindset. Steven Coutinho takes you on a fascinating journey into how the mind has evolved, how it is shaped by society and how it shapes society in turn. You will learn why some people think they cant, while others are convinced they can, how the story of color has stagnated post-colonial economies, and the story of capitalism has kept the West unequal.
Whether you are simply interested in understanding behavior, or are a parent, teacher or manager ready to lead change, Breaking Rank is bound to shift and sharpen your perspective. You will never look at your own behavior or the behavior of others the same way again.
