Author Description

Where We Go From Here: Chaos to Community echoes across time in response to Martin Luther King Jr's question, posed over half a century ago, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" explores the past five or six decades of American psychological and policy relapse, and the deep retracements experienced ever since the extremely hard won battles for civil and human rights of the mid twentieth century. This is a book that speaks to some of our most pernicious and often unspoken, yet actively self-sabotaging cultural misperceptions and myths, found trolling just beneath the surface of everyday conversation held around kitchen tables, water coolers, and all the way to the back hallways of power in places like Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington, DC.Today, many of the previously hidden, raw power ambitions have been made plain and mainstream. We are witnessing the exposure of America¿s collective id, our most common, basic, brutish, devolutionary, irrational, and emotional forces. Vestigial forces that foster fear and provoke conflict, particularly when it comes to public policy issues that have anything to do with civil rights, human rights, deciding who is a deserving person and who isn't, who is a productive citizen and who isn't. In this unprecedented environment, what exactly we should do to cultivate relevant and meaningful opportunity for all Americans to achieve life, liberty and happiness, in ways that make sense in this twenty first century Post-Automation Era?
