In order to transform our world, we must unite behind a new kind of civility.

In a world that is more divided than ever, it will take a radical act to transform our discourse, our lives, and our world. International civility consultant and keynote speaker Shola Richards believes that unifying our world around the power of civility is that radical act, and it's not for the faint of heart.

Do we want a safer world to live in? Do we want less toxicity in our politics? Do we want a world free of hate and discrimination? Do we want to work in organizations that allow us to do our best work? Do we want our children to learn in schools that are kind and supportive? Do we want to live in a world that prioritizes our mental health and overall wellness? If your answers are "yes", then we must steel ourselves for the reality that uniting around civility is the only path that will get us there.

This deeply personal-and deeply practical-book will not shy away from addressing the challenging questions, such as, is it possible to remain civil when faced with polarization, intolerance, radicalized thinking, and abusive behavior? And if so, how? Civil Unity is not another book about turning the other cheek when faced with harmful or hateful behavior. This book will provide the tactics to disagree more effectively, bridge ideological divisions, actively prioritize our mental health, and fiercely create a more civil world that will sustain over time.
