The Multidentity Mindset: Success Skills for the Age of Multidentity

by J. Mark G. Williams

The MultiDentity Mindset introduces you to a complete set of specific skills and personal qualities needed to operate successfully in this new environment. Successful businesses and thriving communities will be looking for this mindset. The MultiDentity Mindset describes the kind of person it will take to successfully deal with the interplay of numerous values, ideologies, and identity groups that hold differing agendas, social goals, and degrees of power. The book explains how powerful forces are working together to rapidly reshape our old notions of identity at every level, including what identity means in the personal, organizational, and national contexts.

The MultiDentity Mindset gives you the framework you need to transition to and master the challenges of the emerging Age of MultiDentity resulting from globalization, changing demographics, fragmentation, and polarization.

The MultiDentity Mindset strikes a balance between helping us grasp what’s changing in the external business and community environment and showing us how to change our mindsets in interactions with our teams, customers, members of our communities, and all those with whom we increasingly interconnect throughout the world.

The MultiDentity Mindset gives you practical, proven skills and tools for connecting and succeeding in business and in life in the Age of MultiDentity. Mark and The MultiDentity Mindset move the diversity and inclusion conversation to a totally new plane.

About the author

J. Mark G. Williams, D Phil, is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. He holds a joint appointment in the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Experimental Psychology. He has held previous posts at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Medical Research Council Applied Psychology Unit (now Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit) in Cambridge and the University of Wales Bangor, where he founded the Institute for Medical and Social Care Research and the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the British Academy. He was educated at Stockton Grammar School, Stockton-on-Tees, and at the University of Oxford.

His research is concerned with psychological models and treatment of depression and suicidal behaviour, particularly the application of experimental cognitive psychology to understanding the processes that increase risk of suicidal behaviour in depression. With colleagues John D. Teasdale (Cambridge) and Zindel Segal (Toronto) he developed Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for prevention of relapse and recurrence in depression, and two RCTs have now found that MBCT halves the recurrence rate in those who have suffered three or more previous episodes of major depression. His current research focuses on whether a similar approach can help prevent suicidal ideation and behaviour. His articles also focus on how autobiographical memory biases and deficits affect current and future vulnerability.
