  Connection is the desire to be understood. 
  It is the human need to feel seen, heard, and emotionally met — not merely surrounded by others, but genuinely bonded to them. 
  In this audiobook, Reece Wideman explores what connection really is, how it shapes relationships and buying decisions, and why humans will sacrifice comfort, convenience, and even logic to experience emotional closeness. 
  Listeners will gain insight into trust, vulnerability, community, and the difference between surface interaction and meaningful connection — learning how connection, when mastered, creates depth, resilience, and long-term commitment.

  Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
   
   
   
  COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
   
   
   
  We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.

  During a business trip to India, the author made an unexpected discovery, a discovery that was to turn his understanding of our world upside down. He was so shaken by what he learned that he felt unable to simply walk away. More often than not, when people are confronted by a major issue with global implications you will hear them say “What can I do? I’m only one person.” Mark decided that such a response would be unacceptable and he made up his mind to get involved. Rather than just sit on the sidelines, in 2014 Mark took decisive action. As a result, Mark’s inner humanitarian was awakened and the lives of tens of thousands of underprivileged children in India have been changed for the better. This highly inspiring, witty, cleverly narrated book tells the story of that awakening and its impact.
