kimball_hansen's review against another edition
3.0
Barely 3 stars.
I was hoping to get more from this book. It had potential. The author did an OK job of trying to show both sides of the political divide but he clearly favored his side and made it known regularly. I hated how the narrator said the word 'Muslim'. It's not moslim. There's no "o" in it, dang it.
Notes:
Our need to bond and connect with others may create bigger gaps and divides with other groups. If we only bond we are only going to keep separating. We need to bridge, too.
He says we have more segregated schools than ever before.
The more we can define ourselves as a larger tribe - Americans - the more our need to belong will engender civility
Oftentimes we get fixated on the other person's personality rather than their idea.
When politics become an identity we stop looking for ways to learn and start looking for ways to justify.
An inch of height is worth almost $800 in corporate America.
A lot of the hippies/left in the 60s erroneously compared religion with conservatism so they shunned religion. Stupid hippies.
The most powerful groups are inclusive.
A workplace should be referred to as a community not a family. You chose to work at a place like how you choose to live in a community. You don't choose family.
