Friend,

We live in a world heavily divided. If we’re not taking sides, we’re “a part of the problem.” If we’re on the “wrong” side, we’re unempathetic or stupid. Rather than having good conversations fueled by differences, we are accosted with a slew of negative news reports and violent protests. 

While it is tempting to think this is a “new” problem, it is not. It turns out the solution is just as timeless as the problem: the principles of civility and human flourishing are remarkably unchanging and have been discovered and rediscovered across time and place. 

In our next #IWReads session, we are going to delve into some of these solutions with the insight of author Alexandra Hudson and her book The Soul of Civility.

Join us on Thursday, December 7 @ 1:00 p.m. ET as we discuss Hudson’s must-read book, The Soul of Civility.
About the Author: 
Alexandra Hudson, daughter of the “Manners Lady,” was raised to respect others. But as she grew up, Hudson discovered a difference between politeness—a superficial appearance of good manners—and true civility. In her timely book, Hudson sheds light on how civility can help bridge our political divide.

It’s easy to look at the divided state of the world and blame our leaders, the media, or our education system. Instead, we should focus on what we can control: ourselves. The Soul of Civility empowers readers to live tolerantly with others despite deep differences, and to rigorously protest wrongs and debate issues rather than silencing disagreements.

I hope you’ll join us, Friend, for this much needed conversation with Alexandra Hudson.

See you there,
