In a climate of widespread contempt and even hatred for people who disagree politically, we can each make important contributions to better our lives, our relationships, and our country. We can stand up for what we believe while also building bridges across the political divide. While many fear for our nation's future, there are practical steps we can each take to build hope for a better America. The book includes:
- Skills for greater self-awareness of how our reactions to political events and others impact our health and well-being;
- Practical ways to mend relationships torn apart by politics and to empower yourself and others when difficult conversations arise;
- Steps to integrate political activism and bridge building; and
- Actions to rebuild a national culture of kindness, dignity, and respect.
