The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that inspires and guides people to take action rooted in the community and stay true to themselves, has published a new book written by Richard C. Harwood, THE WORK OF HOPE. Stemming from conversations Rich had in diverse communities throughout the country in 2011 and early 2012, the book shows that fixing politics or even the economy won't fix what is broken in the country.
More than two decades ago, Rich released the groundbreaking report Citizens and Politics: A View From Main Street America, the first major study to reveal people were not "apathetic" about politics and public life, but rather felt disconnected and pushed out. In this follow-up book twenty years later, Rich learned that society has changed, that people's worries are more distinctly human. The major insights Rich found are:
"The book captures Americans' desire to reengage and reconnect with one another in the public square, and their yearning for humanity and humility in public life and politics," said Rich, founder and president of The Harwood Institute. "These aspirations are reflected in my work in communities throughout the country and align with the Institute's mission to spark fundamental change and authentic hope in American public life."
