Healing America: Values and Vision for the 21st Century

by Paul Simon

Paul Simon, former U.S. Senator from Illinois, widens a national debate. September 11th, 2001 changed we are beginning to realize what happens to one of us happens to all of us. And we are beginning to understand that what happens to others in foreign lands also happens to us. Mr. Simon calls for a new way of thinking, and challenges us to new priorities, a renewing of the best American values.
Simon expands on the familiar meaning of values such as family, religion, equality, optimism, and initiative. He also explores equally important but less talked about restraint, humility, participation, compassion, integrity, and much more. Healing America reminds us of what is best in us, and encourages us to extend our highest vision and values by living them here and now.
