In the right doses and the right contexts, it has been proven to boost creativity, motivate altruism, and confer power and prestige on those who display it. In Pride, Tracy explains how we can make this double-edged emotion serve us--rather than the other way around. "A must-read for anyone pursuing noteworthy goals." -- Publishers Weekly
