Occasionally we participate in a group that inspires us to describe the experience as "powerful" or simply "wow". Why are some teams described in such exceptional terms, while most are not? Bellman and Ryan argue that an extraordinary group emerges when a group experience satisfies two or more core needs that members intuitively bring to any group they join. Based on extensive research, the audiobook presents the Group Needs Model to help anyone nurture extraordinary experiences in their groups and achieve outstanding results.

Traditional translations - from those of the medieval Jewish commentator Rashi to early Christian commentators to the King James version—have downplayed anger at God and reinterpreted the Psalms in ways that would be doctrinally more palatable, but which flatten the richness and subtlety of the Hebrew verse.
