Social Thinking at Work: Strategies for Understanding and Navigating the Workplace

Note: Previously published as Good Intentions Are Not Good Enough our new incarnation of the book is a title and cover change only. Content inside the book is the same.. This award-winning book unpacks the power of our social cognition. It's written for both neurotypical and neurodivergent adult readers to better understand the powerful ways in which we "read" not only what people mean by what they say, but also how others perceive how we emotionally relate. The title reflects a problem experienced by so many clients who report their "good intentions" were met with disappointing outcomes as they worked towards their social goals. This book is also a good primer for neurotypical employers/employees or HR departments to read about the experiences and perspectives of Neurodivergent coworkers, and perhaps develop empathy for the complexity of the bi-directional social learning process. Provides practical strategies for how to effectively work in a group, understand the hidden rules of the social world--including workplace etiquette and politics--and build relationships.
