What if there's an antidote to doomscrolling and our sense of division?

In troubled times, people of goodwill yearn to make a difference, and these sixty short chapters provide both the inspiration and tools toward that end.

VanLaeys, a well-traveled physician assistant and serial volunteer, takes us from the superficial differences which tend to divide us, to the commonalities of human decency. With a focus on relationship building and mending, he walks us through the fundamentals of active listening. He also encourages us to reconsider our objectives as we enter challenging conversations.

He candidly admits to a storied past and redemption through the graces of a recently departed wife and mentor. Having worked with the likes of attempted murderers and earthbound angels he draws from a deeper well than many of us are afforded.
