Arthur C. Brooks is the New York Times Bestselling Author of Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America From a Culture of Contempt. Brooks offers a better way to lead based on bridging divides and mending relationships.
Brooks blends research, ancient wisdom, and a decade of experience leading one of America’s top policy think tanks. His prescriptions are unconventional. His message is not “can’t we all just get along.” Rather, he believes argument is the path to excellence and even anger can drive needed change. Civility and tolerance shouldn’t be our goals, because they are hopelessly low standards. And our feelings toward our perceived foes are irrelevant; what matters is how we choose to act.
Brooks offers a clear strategy for victory for a new generation of leaders. It is a rallying cry for people hoping for a new era of American progress. Most of all, it is a roadmap to arrive at the happiness that comes when we choose to love one another, despite our differences.
