Her four principles help readers have the courage to speak up about their authentic values in a way that is civil and respectful, and also helps them deal with lonely fallout of having those values misunderstood. This books is exceptionally written, easy to understand, and has the potential to change the current "you're either with us, or against us" culture. I loved her four principles, especially the section on holding hands with strangers. The idea of coming together as a people over shared grief and joy really appealed to me. Maybe it is because she talks about having an almost spiritual experience at a Garth Brooks concert, but I have also felt the power of singing with a group of thousands and feeling belonging and love. This is a great book for practical advice on how to deal with people who don't understand your values.AGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089515677655906854noreply@blogger.com
