The Civil Society Playbook: A Commonsense Plan for a Return to Civility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798876529510)

The world we live in today is very prosperous. We have moved on from COVID-19, and technological advancements continue to accelerate. Yet, we are less happy than we were in previous years, and civility is in decline. The causes include increasing self-centeredness, materialism, and hatred toward religions and minority groups. Religious service attendance and affiliation across all major denominations is accelerating in decline. Moral relativism has become the new norm. The question, then, is, where do people get their understanding of what is right and good?

At this critical juncture, our society is in dire need of a counter-dialogue that rekindles our understanding of what it truly means to be a good person. This is where the Playbook steps in, offering a guiding light in these dark times. Benedict has created that playbook to enhance civility.

This book provides specific actions to inspire people to:

• Think of others first
• Remember their obligations to family, friends, and others
• Stretch themselves to give more of their time, talents, and means to those in need
• Think about how their actions (and inactions) impact others

The Playbook is easy to implement and requires no education, wealth, or special abilities. It simply requires one to see the pain in the world and do something about it. That's it.
