{"product_id":"2940170740659","title":"The Healing of America (Abridged)","description":"\u003ci\u003e\"In a nation of 260 million our healing is actually extremely personal. We must each mature into a deeper understanding of our lives and why we're living them, for such understanding is the womb out of which will come new life for American culture.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Healing of America\u003c\/i\u003e, Marianne Williamson becomes a powerful voice for social conscience in American society. While citing the virtual abandonment of social justice as a dominant political theme since the 1960's, Williamson notes historian Arthur Schlesinger's contention that Americans express renewed political interest every thirty years. This is a time, according to Williamson, for Americans to once again return to first principles -- political and spiritual. In this landmark work, Williamson draws plans for the transformation of American political consciousness and the re-emergence of powerful citizen involvement in a genuine healing of American society.\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Williamson, we need a new paradigm of political understanding, a moral commitment to express it, and a new kind of activism to bring it forth. \u003ci\u003eThe Healing of America\u003c\/i\u003e is a blueprint for all three.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100727951600,"sku":"2940170740659","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170740659_p0.jpg?v=1763715841","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170740659","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
