Dr. Aguilera reveals how power shapes every aspect of our lives—often in ways we don’t fully recognize. The first chapters dive into the heart of the matter, defining each type of power and illustrating how they interact in both subtle and profound ways. From the innate Personal Power we all possess to the pervasive influence of Systemic Power, the book provides a nuanced vocabulary to articulate the social power dynamics in our relationships, groups, and systems.
