“A workplace isn’t a family, but it can become a thriving community. This book is filled with insights on how to build one. Christine Porath is a leading expert on creating more civil organizations, and she brings the data and the examples you need to create a culture of respect and concern.”

"Company cultures and the communities they create are critical elements of our everyday lives, and ultimately, to the success of our businesses. Christine's beautifully written, well-researched new book has pulled back the curtain on developing communities that allow your employees to thrive. A perfect follow up for Mastering Civility, this book will change the way you operate in your life and at work!"

"Community. Everybody talks about it, yet few of us do anything about it. But now we’re out of excuses — because Christine Porath has written the definitive work on building tribes that thrive. Mastering Community is an endlessly practical and deeply inspiring book that will enlighten any leader and transform any organization."

"Mastering Community makes a compelling case for a big and beautiful idea:  When people build communities where they care about, respect, and help each other, they are happier, healthier, more imaginative, more effective at improving the human condition—and in the business world—make a lot more money too!  This delightful book is packed with sound evidence, lovely stories, and, above all, proven tools and tips that will help us unite and build more meaningful lives for ourselves and others."

“Christine Porath has done it again! Mastering Community is a magnificent book everyone should read, share and apply.  Backed by empirical data, Chris focuses on the critical need to build better communities and connections within our workplaces and society today. We do this by creating gathering places where people feel they belong, matter, and are treated with respect and civility. Truly a timely and relevant book!”

"It is very simple, really. There is no subject more important than community. And yet the vast majority of enterprises score poorly on the community scale. 'Now we have the answer' is a silly sentence. Or is it? In Mastering Community, Christine Porath has given us one of the most powerful—and actionable—books on organizational performance I have ever encountered. Enterprise-as-living-and-thriving community is quite possibly the most important organizational performance concept of them all. Do not 'read' this book. Instead, ingest it, share it, act on it, and change your world. This book is the rare one that deserves the word 'masterpiece.' Bravo."
