The Civil Society Playbook: A Commonsense Plan for a Return to Civility

Where did society go wrong? And how can we make it right?

The United States of America boasts citizens originating from nearly every country on the planet, speaking 350+ languages and representing every major religion. It is an economic, political, and social powerhouse. Yet one of our nation's greatest threats is the decline of basic civility in everyday life. People of all ages and backgrounds can observe a growing coarseness and vulgarity in society, including an obsessive focus on the self in social media, a disrespect for boundaries and property, growing intolerance toward ideas, significant corporate pay inequities, attacks on persons of other faiths and ethnicities; increasing neglect of the elderly, and a decline in charitable giving.

Filled with extensive research and statistics on the causes and types of incivility in America, The Civil Society Playbook by Michael Benedict introduces an actionable, thirty-day Right and Good Framework that empowers each of us to:

• dig deep into our best selves
• activate our empathy muscles
• step out of our comfort zones
• notice others who are in need
• and decide to act

And in return for our efforts, we can look forward to many personal and collective benefits, including:

• enhanced leadership capacity
• enhanced community spirit
• enhanced sense of purpose
• increased connection to others
• increased sense of gratitude
• ... and more!

"There's no 'perfect time' to enact the Right and Good Framework. But we can decide to do at least one act starting today."
