Summary

In this stirring call to arms, the activist, spiritual leader, and New York Times best-selling author of the classic Return to Love confronts the cancerous politics of fear and divisiveness threatening the US today, urging all spiritually aware Americans to return to - and act out of - our deepest value: love.

America’s story is one of great social achievement. From the abolitionists who fought to outlaw slavery, to the suffragettes who championed women’s right to vote, to the civil rights proponents who battled segregation and institutionalized white supremacy, to the proponents of the women’s movement and gay rights seeking equality for all, citizens for generations have risen up to fulfill the promise of our nation. Over the course of America’s history, these activists have both embodied and enacted the nation’s deepest values.

Today, America is once again is in turmoil. A spiritual cancer of fear threatens to undo the progress we have achieved. Discord and hatred are dissolving our communal bonds and undermining the spirit of social responsibility - the duty we feel toward one another. In this powerful spiritual manifesto, Marianne Williamson offers a tonic for this cultural malignancy. She urges us to imitate the heroes of our past and live out our deepest spiritual commitment: where some have sown hatred, let us now sow love.

Williamson argues that we must do more than respond to external political issues. We must address the deeper, internal causes that have led to this current dysfunction. We need a new, whole-person politics of love that stems not just from the head but from the heart, not just from intellectual understanding but from a genuine affection for one another. By committing to love, we will make a meaningful contribution to the joyful, fierce, and disruptive energies that are rising at this critical point in time. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "we must think anew, and act anew...and then we shall save our country".

Such an important message

I wasnt the biggest fan of the narrator, but Williamson writes absolute truth. It is essential that we rememeber that a country is more than money, but has a soul, and the whole of it represents how we, as individuals, develope it.

A politics of head and heart

Williamson convincingly makes the case for more compassion and empathy in our society and politics.

While Williamson uses American injustices and history to make her arguments, the message is much needed around the globe. As a listener in the U.K., I found the content strikingly relevant for our own divisive political culture. This book is a must read for anyone who values life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Inspiring and a must read for every change maker!

I loved ideas in this book. By the end of the book it becomes obvious how author's upbringing impacted the thinking and proposed solutions. Although the book is only about America, some things are replicable to other countries too. If we follow the general idea and principles on the book, we would all be better off. I did miss more research about new economic development as solutions already exist. And they come from so called "socialist countrys" that the author has not so fond attitude towards. In general, I would highly recommend this book if you're interested in changes in improving life for the better.
