Breaking the Barriers to Belonging

<p>As the world changes the need for belonging among diverse groups of people is as strong as ever. There are great discussions and literature around diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) but they are often confined to the academic environment and may not easily translate to real-world scenarios. Moreover there is a lack of understanding of how our biology and neurobiology affect our emotions perceptions and behaviors in relation to these topics. This book bridges the DEI discussions with the real-world impact of these topics. At the baseline of our existence we all have the same needs as part of our shared humanity and we all have a role to play in fostering belonging in our organizations and spheres of influence. </p>
