By Paul Born

Why Read It? Community has the capacity to improve our physical, mental, and economic health, as well as our overall sense of happiness and fulfillment. It can unite us all in a common bond as we work together. But in the chaos of modern life, traditional community ties have become unraveled. Paul Born argues that as a result, many of us have opted for shallow community: keeping mostly to ourselves, only occasionally seeing our friends and relatives. Or, desperate for some sense of common purpose, we choose a community united by fear of those unlike us. Instead, we need to deepen our experience of community, actively seeking opportunities to cultivate connections with those we care about and reaching out to those around us whom we haven’t yet met.

In this thoughtful and moving book, Born describes the four pillars of deep community: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working together for a better world.
