The great individual independence that each of us enjoys today has come at a heavy price. Countless men and women throughout history have fought heroically or died for us to enjoy the personal freedom that we tend to take for granted, but with independence we have reached the point of isolation and alienation. Rediscovering our interdependence on one another is our most urgent task. Stephen D'Souza and Kuyan Bui approach this task with courage and clarity, which is what makes the book a must-read; Their clever advice, interwoven into the fabric of the stories, quotes, and poems included, makes it difficult to put the book down.”
