A total banger. The first two chapters are a bit basic but then she starts spitting hard facts.
Democracy is dying because we are clinging to a dangerous and outdated myth: talking about politics can change people’s minds. It doesn’t.
This provocative debut from a bold new voice combines a fascinating range of research to show us the psychological and sociological factors that really shape our politics.
Drawing from ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience and social science, Dr Sarah Stein Lubrano reveals the surprising truth about how people think and behave politically. From friendship to community organizing and social infrastructure, she explores the actions that actually do change minds.
In a world where politics keeps getting more irrational, dishonest, violent and chaotic, it’s getting much harder to reach people with words alone. So people who really care about democracy must ask: how can we stop arguing and do the deep work to build stronger foundations for political life, and a better world for us all?
All I can find about this book online (which has just released) are the same marketing buzzwords and phrases as OP used and a “detailed review” that throughout can’t spell the author’s surname…
Is this some weird advertising campaign?
Fancy giving us some actual details OP?
I’m just liking the book and I think it’s a very necessary book, so I’m promoting it. I have no business or personal connection to the author, except having offered her a drink after the book presentation in Berlin. That’s it. Also I copy-pasted the blurb from the editor’s website: I thought putting it in quotes would make it obvious I didn’t write that part.
