Produktbeschreibung
Through revealing stories, this work aims to provoke reflection on the effects of incivility in our lives, becoming a concise guide on how to live better. We have many words to describe any act of incivility, but few to explain the opposite. The author proposes the term «civility», a way of improving coexistence and with it the quality of our life. This thought goes beyond that of our individual dimension, it creates a collective thought. With these stories, drawn from his own experiences and tales from diverse cultures, Heisig appeals to the reader through examples of civility in action to promote collective thinking in which civility, and with it collective goodness, flourishes.
