The Power of Reputation: Learn how to build and use your image to succeed in the workplace

LEARN TO BUILD AND USE YOUR IMAGE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE WORKPLACE From an early age, we try to figure out who we can trust and how to make others think well of us. We do this throughout our lives, even if unconsciously, whenever we meet a professional contact, make a friend, or start a relationship; when we read celebrity gossip or add information to our Facebook profile. Reputation leaves its mark on our bodies, brains, and even our souls. But what is the secret to having a good reputation? Why do people share details of their lives online? Why do fish only bite each other when no one is looking? Why do some people react to trivial insults with aggression? Why do so many gods have multiple eyes? In The Power of Reputation, science writer John Whitfield shows how the concept of reputation helps answer these and other questions.
