Screaming heads on television. Angry campus activists. Twitter trolls. Today in America, there is an “outrage industrial complex” that prospers by setting American against American, creating a toxic “culture of contempt” that deepens our political polarization—the habit of seeing people who disagree with us not as merely incorrect, but as worthless and defective. Maybe, like more than nine out of ten Americans, you dislike it. But hey, either you play along, or you’ll be left behind, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLove Your Enemies\u003c\/i\u003e, social scientist and author of the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eFrom Strength to Strength\u003c\/i\u003e Arthur C. Brooks shows that abuse and outrage are not the right formula for lasting success.

To bring America together, we shouldn’t try to agree more. There is no need for mushy moderation, because disagreement is the secret to excellence. Civility and tolerance shouldn’t be our goals, because they are hopelessly low standards. And our feelings toward our foes are irrelevant; what matters is how we choose to act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove Your Enemies\u003c\/i\u003e offers a clear strategy for national unity and victory for a new generation of leaders.
