Civility in America: Our country's leading thinkers talk about restoring civility in business, politics, religion, sports, entertainment, media, rock and roll, and other areas of life

In every sector of American society, civility has declined – from vicious political rhetoric to attack in the blogosphere and lack of personal decency.

The Dilenschneider Group, a global strategic communications firm, has since 2011 sponsored an ongoing series of lectures on civility from America's greatest thought leaders. Collected in this volume are the thoughts of some of the nation's most insightful minds as they explore this crisis and offer their opinions as to how we can restore civility in our society.
