Michael Lerner Knihy

The book explores the concept of self-imposed powerlessness, suggesting that individuals often diminish their effectiveness in personal relationships and professional endeavors. It examines how this mindset not only affects individual success but also hinders the pursuit of broader political and social change. By addressing these attitudes, the author encourages readers to reclaim their power and engage more fully in their lives and communities.

Drawing on ideas presented in the Bible, Jewish teachings, and his experience as a psychotherapist, Lerner examines the roots of the vague discontent felt by so many Americans about our political system and explains how values can be put back into these broken politics.
