A new book is just out on the nature of power:

The Power Paradox

How We Gain and Lose Influence

Influence comes not to those who are ruthless, but to those with social intelligence and empathy. Yet, ironically, the seductions of success lead us to lose those very qualities that made us powerful in the first place. Keltner draws on fascinating case studies to illuminate this 'power paradox', revealing how it shapes not just companies and elections but everyday relationships.
