    About this ebook

    Them: Why We Hate Each Other--and How to Heal by Ben Sasse: Conversation Starters


    American communities and society are in upheaval, an unprecedented one that is causing anxiety, loneliness, and fractiousness. The worse part is that "we are distracting ourselves with artificial hatreds," Senator Ben Sasse says. He points to media outlets for stirring people into anger and hatred, calling their programs "politainment". The recent elections highlighted the problem of the country and its citizens who are not particularly interested in the "meaning of America." To heal our fractured communities and ailing country, he suggests that we identify and nurture our common bonds as a people.
    Them is an instant New York Times bestseller. Kirkus Review cites Sasse's emphasis on "humility, empathy, and respect for pluralism" as the values that will ensure "the future of the republic."

      Mildly helpful; now interested in reading the book and other works by Sasse. Interesting life story. I particularly liked hearing of his MA from St. John’s.
