The Soul of Civility

Alexandra Hudson

In an era of fraught political tension, civility—a respect for the dignity of others—is the key to bridging the divide.

As face to face interactions have been replaced by digital interactions, incivility has exploded, with dire consequences for democracies. In this beautifully written and meditative book, Hudson shows us the treasure we are losing in civility, and how to regain it. She reaches back into history and up to a vision of human potential. Along the way, she touches your soul and inspires you to do better.
