I thought this book was just ok. I had hoped for more. I read her and her husband's book "Spiritual Politics" a number of years ago and eagerly awaited another book in that vein. This one has many things we all already know and not enough specific examples of how groups are overcoming the adversarial approach and synthesizing the best of all contributions.
