Battered by partisan rancor and caustic public discourse, America is tearing at the seams. Across the political spectrum, people are told by divisive leaders that their ideological opponents are worthless. And as both history and leading social science show, the consequences of this growing culture of contempt are calamitous and lasting. Without a solution, this will destroy America from within. But as best selling author and economist Arthur C. Brooks argues, contempt is not what people want, and a popular backlash is coming.The bullies will soon have their comeuppance. This book shows the way for a new generation of unifying leaders to harness this backlash and turn it into a force for progress and unity. The key is not bland agreement, but rather a culture of warm-heartedness toward political foes, a vigorous, but respectful, competition of ideas, and the courage to stand up to dividers on one's own side.
