Discovering Possibility: A Common Sense Conservative Manifesto (For Classical Liberals Too)

Common Sense Conservatism is America's new centrism. Readers will find something refreshing in this timely book, in which the author, a marriage and family therapist, teacher, and community-builder, draws from a rich sociological perspective to outline an optimistic roadmap for restoring America from the ground up. The author promotes the humanistic classical liberalism of the enlightenment as a common sense alternative to the top down government or religious answers that have dominated most so-called progressive reform initiatives in the 20th Century. He draws from libertarian psychology and communitarianism to outline a thoughtful explication of what needs to be deconstructed so that America can rediscover what made her exceptional. Discovering Possibility is novel, bold, and inspirational at a time when many are seeking independent solutions. Discovering Possibility offers a compelling way forward for all Americans who are using their vast energies to rediscover and restore America.
