Taking Civility Out of the Box: The Insanity of Incivility and What Can Be Done About It - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Taking Civility Out of the Box jumps into the public arena of anger and incivility that is bombarding us from every direction; answering questions you have probably asked yourself:

• Why is everyone always so angry and mean-spirited?
• Will the lack of civility toward others damage our demoncratic society?
• Am I the only one who is frustrated and fed up with leaders whose speeches ae petty and meaningless, and their actions are mainly self-serving?
• Is there anything that can be done or do I just have to learn to live with this?
  

Sharing that same frustration, I started seaching for answers, or at least insight to understand what was happening. Not only did I gain insight into the issues, I also realized I wasn't the only one who needed answers. Taking Civility Out of the Box may not make you an expert on these issues, because these are complicated questions; but it will definitely provide insight into how we got here and why we need to turn things around. But, the book doesn't stop there, it offers a variety of strategies that can be used by anyone who wants to make a difference. Every chapter offers practical suggestions that can easily be applied to many situations. The book concludes with an additional listing of ways you can engage others who share your concerns to join you. There is also an invitation to be a part of a webinar, led by the author, about civil discourse: "Dialogue not Confrontation." (Special pricing is available for each person who purchases the book (Kindle or Paperbook.)

I believe the lack of civility and pervasiveness of incivility in our society is at a critical point. I also believe we need to turn this trend around before it is too late. Taking Civility Out of the Box is a call to action. If you truly want to make a difference and are looking a way to begin, then Taking Civility Out of the Box is a must read for you.
