Love Your Enemies

How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt

Book • 2019

Arthur C Brooks

In 'Love Your Enemies,' Arthur C. Brooks argues that the current culture of contempt in America, fueled by divisive politics and social media, is not a path to lasting success.

Instead, he proposes a strategy based on bridging divides and mending relationships.

Brooks combines behavioral research, ancient wisdom, and his experience leading a top policy think tank to offer unconventional prescriptions for bringing America together.

He emphasizes that disagreement is essential for excellence and that civility and tolerance are insufficient goals; what matters most is how we choose to act towards those we disagree with.
