The rest of the title is: Why We Hate Each Other--And How to Heal. This is another book by still Senator Ben Sasse from Fremont, NE--not far from where I grew up. He will be moving on to become president of the University of Florida in Dec or maybe Jan--something like that. Makes interesting problem for Gov Ricketts of NE--he wants to be Senator since term limited out of Gov spot this fall but probably doesn't want to appoint himself either. He will have to find a way to get this done--lol. As far as the book goes, a lot of interesting and sort of common sense things--people are lonely, people are not attached to where they are living, people don't join local groups/churches/gather for local(high school)sports teams, etc. I enjoyed the book gives one stuff to think about but not really sure about answers. I don't see our country suddenly going back to joining the Jaycees, Lions Clubs, churches, etc. Technology is part of the reason but also time constraints--with commuting and long work hours, just seems like tough to find time for those other activities. He pointed out a lot of problems but did remember reading any solutions other than encouraging each person to do better.
There are 8 WL for the book on PBS but might be one to loan out to friends first.
