The Courage To Create a Politics Worthy Of The Human Spirit
Description
A book of hope for "We the People" In Healing the Heart of Democracy, Parker J. Palmer quickens our instinct to seek the common good, proposing practical ways to bridge our political divides. In this intensely personal as well as political book, Palmer explores five "habits of the heart"that we can develop in everyday settings like families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations and workplaces to help restore a government "of the people, by the people, for the people." Discover ways to nurture: An understanding that we are all in this together An appreciation of the value of "otherness" An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways A sense of personal voice and agency A capacity to create community This book--enriched by a Discussion Guide and 40 online video interviews with the author--is an eloquent and empowering call for "We the People" to reclaim our democracy in an era of divide and conquer politics. Democracy & Education called it "One of the most important books of the early 21st Century." Publishers Weekly, in a Starred Review, said "This beautifully written book deserves a wide audience that will benefit from discussing it."
