Summary

Explores five "habits of the heart" that can help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other: an understanding that we are all in this together ; an appreciation of the value of "otherness" ; an ability to hold tension in life-giving ways ; a sense of personal voice and agency ; a capacity to create community
