Race has always been an emotional and contentious subject in America. Too often, the focus has been on one extreme or the other. Dr. Conrad provides a refreshing perspective that goes beyond news program sound bites and newspaper headlines to tackle some difficult questions, such as: Why do some people born into difficult circumstances succeed in life where others fail? What are the causes of urban violence in America? What does emotional intelligence have to do with understanding and appreciating diversity? What are the most common problems with diversity initiatives in many organizations? Dr. Conrad explores these questions based on what science tells us about our brains-their tremendous potential, and their fragility. The Fragile Mind is a valuable resource for you if you are: Am A business leader or supervisor seeking to maximize the talents of your employees Am An elected official or government representative seeking to understand the unique needs of your constituency Am A school administrator or teacher seeking to prepare tomorrow's leaders Am A non-profit leader or community worker seeking to provide the appropriate help for people in needThe Ownera#39;s Manual for the Brain (Third ed.).
