About
What happened to common decency? We know that this current culture of incivility and divisiveness isn't working for us, but how do we move forward to a place of more cooperation and kindness?
Rooted in Decency offers up insights from a range of sources-from Aristotle to the Dalai Lama-that paint a thought-provoking picture about how we got here and why today's incivility is so damaging. Learn how today's culture may be affecting the way you think and feel and discover a path for each of us-and all of us-to move out of this divisive period.
Insights to change the conversation
Short, conversational chapters offer up "a-ha" moments that you can act on right now to change the tone of the debate. Get in on discussions like:
• How the self-esteem revolution damaged self-respect (and how to rebuild it)
• Why you can't disrespect (or shame) people into agreeing with you
• Which values do we still share and how can they help us find common ground
Clarify your moral compass
Rooted in Decency considers the origins of our shared human values and shows which core values are essential if we want to thrive together. An innovate approach helps you clarify your own moral compass and shows you how to use your values to weigh today's issues.
Great for book clubs, teams, leaders
With built-in journaling pages, each short chapter offers ideas and exercises that can help us see each other and the issues in a more productive way. No matter which side of a debate you're on, learn tips for understanding other perspectives and knowing how to communicate so that other people can understand yours.
