| Summary |
"We live in an Age of Fear and the crushing chasm of the Courage Gap. Many are troubled by systemic racism; 70% fear our government; more than half are routinely angry; 66% are unhappy. and one of three display classifiable anxiety disorders. Dr. Paul Brand finds we Americans, at great cost to our well-being, are among the least capable in coping with simple discomfort. We worry about ourselves and the world and forget that courage is as close as our too-rapid heartbeats. Fearing prejudice, we ignore the fact that courageous skills can cancel intolerance. Now is the time for courage to help us behave justly and to treat others equally. We need courage now to effectively lead, communicate, solve tough moral problems at root cause, and genuinely help others. The Courage Playbook closes the dangerous and toxic Courage Gap. In The Courage Playbook, Lee acts as a personal executive courage coach to guide the reader through Five Steps to Courage: a practical pathway to living well, leading right, and treating others without bias. Social commentator and author David Brooks found that courageously helping others for the common good gives deeper meaning to life and increases our chances at genuine happiness and even joy. The Courage Playbook shows the reader how to do that, not as worried self-help, but as courageous other-help"-- Provided by publisher. |
