深度关系 – Connect by David Bradford

与他人建立深度关系的能力对我们的生活和工作至关重要。当身处一段深度关系中时，我们会感到自己完全被理解和支持。然而，有时我们会发现自己很难与他人建立深度关系，或者无法应对与他人更亲密时不可避免会出现的挑战。

事实上，所有的关系各不相同，但多数都会按照相似的模式发展。建立和维持深度关系的过程是可以描述、学习和应用的。

本书内容源自斯坦福商学院50余年经典课程“人际互动”，两位作者将人际心理学的重要核心知识点应用在5种典型的人物关系——父女、夫妻、闺蜜、兄弟、同事中，探讨了关系由浅入深的发展过程，指明了深度关系的6个特征，让抽象的关系变化看得见，帮助读者与家人、朋友和同事建立充分信任、彼此成就的深度关系。

The ability to create strong relationships with others is crucial to living a full life and becoming more effective at work. Yet many of us find ourselves struggling to build solid personal and professional connections or unable to handle challenges that inevitably arise when we grow closer to others. When we find ourselves in an exceptional relationship – the kind of relationship in which we feel fully understood and supported for who we are – it can seem like magic. But the truth is that the process of building and sustaining these relationships can be described, learned, and applied.

David Bradford and Carole Robin taught interpersonal skills to MBA candidates for a combined 75 years in their legendary Stanford Graduate School of Business course Interpersonal Dynamics (affectionately known to generations of students as “Touchy-Feely”) and have coached and consulted hundreds of executives for decades. In Connect, they show listeners how to take their relationships from shallow to exceptional by cultivating authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty, while being willing to ask for and offer help, share a commitment to growth, and deal productively with conflict.

Filled with relatable scenarios and research-backed insights, Connect is an important resource for anyone hoping to improve existing relationships and build new ones at any stage of life.
