hgkc Book Club - why do we crave connection?

The theme of this year's Book Club is working together better, because that’s the way businesses become more successful. We believe that businesses are primarily the relationships between the people in the business, and between them and their clients, suppliers and other stakeholders. These relationships create the culture of the business, and this culture determines in large measure how successful the business can be.If a business wants to be more successful, it is very desirable for it to seek to maximise the quality of people’s relationships in the business.This year’s books approach this subject from many angles. Some of the books are not related specifically to the workplace, and that’s because relationships work in similar ways irrespective of the context. The trick is to apply the general content of the books to the particular context of the workplace. What can we learn from these books and from each other?

Life is all about relationships and the quality of those connections, whether that's with family, partners, friends, colleagues or most importantly yourself. If you can get those relationships on a functional and even keel, then the other tricky stuff that life throws your way becomes easier to manage.
In this warm, practical and witty book, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling psychotherapist Philippa Perry shows you how to approach life's big problems.
How do you find and keep love? What can you do to manage conflict better? How can you get unstuck and cope with change and loss? What does it mean to you to be content? Are other people just annoying or are you the problem?
With a healthy dose of sanity, Philippa Perry's compassionate advice could help you become a happier, wiser person.
