A must read to understand and cope in today's society.
Author, Colleen Doyle Bryant, shows us how today's society has gone sideways, giving us clear and easy to understand examples and excerpts from many other well know authors and leaders in morality. Through our reading we can see clearly how today's politicians and media can lead us into feeling so much extreme anger or hate. Mrs. Bryant is not afraid to touch on all of today's topics, LGBQ, Black lives matter, cancel culture ect. The author shows us exactly what is so needed from all of us humans, no matter our race, gender, political beliefs, so we many get back to a civil compassionate society. I only wish everybody in the world had a copy of this wonderful book, especially those with leadership responsibilities and the media. Highly recommended and rereading this again!
