Join local author David Jay at Books Inc. Berkeley for a thoughtful exploration of his eye-opening book Relationality : How Moving from Transactional to Transformational Relationships Can Reshape Our Lonely World! How moving from transactional to transformational relationships and organizations can save our democracy, nurture our connections, and make us happier and healthier.
Powerful institutions, from schools to tech and social media companies, create breeding grounds for isolation by failing to invest in relational work. This obstacle stands in the way of our fight for racial equity, economic justice, and climate resilience.
In Relationality, leading asexuality and relationship activist David Jay brings clarity to the crisis with a fresh perspective that expands upon the fundamental idea that all entities in the universe are connected. Jay draws from a range of vivid personal experiences, including his time spent helping tech workers and policymakers reform social media.
This book is for people who believe in the power of relationships and want to see increased investment in relational work. Its scientifically grounded framework will help readers foster conversations about relational work, establish conditions for relationships to thrive, and quantify the impact of them.
Equipping professionals and activists involved in nonprofit, political, and other types of relational work with the knowledge they need to fight for and utilize resources, Relationality shares valuable insight on: The history of why institutions fail to invest in relationshipsReimagining ROI calculations to account for relational workUsing tools of prediction and emergence theory to build communitiesHow stories and data about relationships can help us direct resources toward relational workRelational economics and the redistribution of wealthWith isolation and loneliness on the rise in a post-lockdown world, Relationality offers a roadmap to nourish our connections toward a better, more liberated world—personally, organizationally, and in community.  In a time of general malaise and epidemic loneliness, David Jay offers a vision of a more connected, less isolated social experience. His willingness to look squarely at our failing social dynamics is bracing, and his notion of relationship is at once radical and sensible, with the potential to mitigate a great deal of sadness and pain. 
—ANDREW SOLOMON, author of Far From the Tree
 This is not a glib call for community, or a dire portrait of a world in which loneliness has reached epidemic proportions. David Jay offers a clear-eyed telling of what happens when we invest in relational containers—and the consequences when we don't. Relationality is an indictment of a society and an economy that has consistently undervalued and underinvested in real relationships and settled for its commodified imitations. And it is a playbook shared by one of our generation's most studied movement leaders about how we might do better, and how we might redirect the resources required to make it so. 
—LENNON FLOWERS, cofounder and executive director of The Dinner Party
 Relationality offers insight into the transformative power of relationships and calls attention to the well-being deficit many face from chronic loneliness and disconnection. I commend David for his work in breaking down these concepts to get to the heart of what we all desire and what we need now more than ever—meaningful relationships. 
—JILLIAN RACOOSIN, executive director of the Foundation for Social Connection
 A wake-up call to institutions that fail to understand the importance of relationships. Whether we succeed together or fail together depends entirely on the quality of our relationships. This book is an invaluable map to improve them. 
—AZA RASKIN, cofounder of the Center for Humane Technology Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, David Jay is a community organizer with a background in physics. From founding the Asexual Visibility and Education Network to working in the heart of the tech reform movement, David has centered the work of building relationship as a tool of healing and driving social change. His research and writing centers on the reasons why these important relational tools so often go underappreciated and underfunded and on how that reality might change. David is regularly invited to speak at conferences and universities on topics that include asexuality, movement organizing, tech reform, and queer family structure. He lives with his two co-parents and two children in Oakland, California.
