Description
Trust is the glue that holds us together. Trust means that we are playing by the same rules and are able to cooperate. But trust in others and in institutions is dramatically declining. Where does that leave us? And how can we rebuild it?
What do loving relationships, shared knowledge, innovative companies and legitimate governments have in common? They all flourish with trust and wither without.
Against the astonishing scope of trust's influence in our societies, we find statistics showing that trust has been dramatically declining in recent decades – a trend readily confirmed by real life events. This is the troubling starting point the book seeks to address.
By exploring the topic of trust, the book provides novel perspectives on how to heal the internal divisions in the west, and more profoundly, shows how it is trust that defines successful societies in general.

Advance Praise
“I was inspired to write the book when I discovered the rather shocking statistics showing great decline in trust - and the understanding that it is precisely trust that underpins the functioning of society. From there I started digging into the research, which opened my eyes to the fact that trust affords us novel and very useful perspectives to understand societal developments. Once I discovered trust and its many manifestations, the world that had become rather strange and bewildering suddenly became comprehensible again.” Martin Mikael Lilius
