The May Book Club discussion will focus on Reinforcements: How to Get People to Help You, by Heidi Grant.

Even though most people hate to ask for help, we're also wired to be helpful. And that's a good thing, because every day in the modern, uber-collaborative workplace, we all need to know when and how to call in the cavalry.

However, many of our instincts about how to ask for help are wrong. As a result, we do a poor job of calling in the reinforcements we need, and we leave confused or even offended colleagues in our wake.

This pragmatic book explains how to get it right. With humor, insight, and engaging storytelling, Heidi Grant, PhD, describes how to elicit helpful behavior from your friends, family, and colleagues--in a way that leaves them feeling genuinely happy to lend a hand.
