Description
Alfie Kohn argues that competition is not an inevitable part of human nature. In fact, it can have damaging effects on our self-esteem and relationships.
Kohn contends that our institutions often perpetuate competition, pitting individuals against each other in a struggle for success. However, he shows that this approach can lead to losers rather than winners.
This revised edition of "No Contest" offers new insights into how we can learn more effectively by working together, rather than competing with one another.
