Rezensionen

"This is a scholarly, theoretical, complex book about understanding and managing importance in oneself and others. ... The author explains why people are important sociologically, politically, economically, legally, and philosophically and how the external environment affects the path to importance. This book should be read by psychologists, PhDs, and researchers in the physical and life sciences. ... The bibliography is excellent. Summing Up: Recommended. Faculty only." (D. W. Huffmire, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
