The world needs this book."-- Paul Born, author of Deepening Community>The wisdom and experience that are evident on every page of this book flow from Schaeffer's personal, professional, and academic explorations, during which he has asked thousands of people from many ethnic backgrounds, walks of life, and geographic regions, "What would people be like within and with each other in a world you would like to be part of?" In sharing his findings, Schaeffer reveals the five main qualities of character demonstrated by people who create vibrant, cohesive communities -- Genuine Interest, Acknowledgement, Deep Empathy, Altruism, and Mutual Trust -- and investigates the kinds of creative communication that nourish these qualities.
