Summary:
"In Healing the Heart of Democracy, Parker Palmer explores five "habits of the heart" that can help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other: An understanding that we are all in this together An appreciation of the value of "otherness" An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways A sense of personal voice and agency A capacity to create community With an updated foreword from the author, along with an updated readers' guide, this book is an eloquent and empowering call for "We the People" to reclaim our democracy"-- Provided by publisher.
