With an approachable and conversational style, as well as a dash of humor, Kingston draws on a diverse and compelling collection of wisdomthe parables of the Bible and the philosophy of Aristotle, the legacy of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, the songs of Bruce Springsteen and current studies from the best neuro and social scientists todayto remind us that there is no "them," there is only us, and we're in this together.
