By Author C. Brooks.
A good book in the model of "one page of thesis, 200 pages of examples and explanation." The book almost says that in the conclusion...
1. Standup to the man. Refuse to be used by the powerful.
2. Escape the Bubble. Go where you are unexpected and say things people don't expect
3. Say no to contempt. Treat others with love and respect, even when it's difficult.
4. Disagree better. Be part of a healthy competition of ideas. Engage in earnest debate while not shutting anyone out.
5. Tune Out. Disconnect more from unproductive debates.
These are hard things to accomplish. Brooks is *not* advocating that we cynically & passively disconnect. He advocates that you to actively love your enemies and become a better person.
