Inspire is an essential guide to becoming a better leader, an effective decision-maker, a dynamic problem-solver, and inclusive innovator.

Whether you’re a leader, a member of a team, a spouse, or a parent, this engaging and rigorous exploration unpacks the science of inspiration. Through compelling stories, fascinating research, and practical tips for addressing the common dilemmas we face daily, Inspire reveals how all of us, regardless of status or circumstance, can be more inspiring more often.

“Drawing from his groundbreaking scholarship, Galinsky reverse engineers the core skills of inspirational leadership, showing how even the most infuriating of leaders can learn to elevate the people around them. Inspire is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a better leader, a better parent, or a better human being.”
— Angela Duckworth, New York Times Bestselling Author of Grit
