Correlation does not imply causation
Key Benefits
– Improved Relationships
– Workplace Performance
– Negotiating Skills
– Leadership Efficacy
– Mental health and general well-being
As with all psychology and social science, rigorous controlled and repeatable experimentation is hard to conduct. And demonstrating causation is harder still. However, it seems likely that there will be benefits but, even if there are few or none, there are unlikely to be any downsides.
