The society is in a social crisis, evidenced by rising rates of suicide, depression, and mental health problems, with 54% of Americans reporting that no one knows them well. The root cause is a lack of social connection and moral skills. These skills encompass knowing how to treat each other with consideration, listening well, arguing well, asking for forgiveness, hosting inclusive events, and navigating complex life circumstances. The book aims to teach these skills and restore a sense of community and democracy.
