Dissidently Speaking: Change the Words, Change the War - Hardcover

"Someday, people will end their emails with: 'Hamachek was right!'"

Joan Matthews, co-author of "The Self-Help Guide for Special Kids and Their Parents"

]This is a book of ideas. Here's one: What if we could flip two words in the English language and have people stop saying "it is" and instead ask "is it?"

Most Americans today feel as though our current state of divisiveness is not sustainable. They agree that something has to be done. The author agrees and suggests that the road to redemption for America requires a fresh look at:

• History
• Social structures
• Personal communication
• Ethics

Mostly Americans need to take a fresh look at ourselves. To do that we need to apply critical thinking, add some skepticism, and be willing to replace answers with questions.

Compiled from a decade of writings and contemplation, and further aided by a forty-year career in the world of business dealing with hundreds of companies, this book represents a synthesis between the theoretical and the empirical. Each chapter stands entirely on its own, but each stands stronger when joined with the others. The author's goal is simply to have the reader challenge their preconceived notions.

This book is for you if you feel confident enough to challenge everything you might think about the American political dynamic, how honestly and effectively you communicate with others, and how you process what you find in the news or on social media. Do you have what it takes to become a political dissident? Find out. Finally, and most difficult of all, are you up to taking a look into the mirror and asking yourself: Am I ethical?

Get ready to have your toy box dumped all over the floor. Prepare to check all your premises. Be willing to think!
