Brian’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt

Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt by Arthur C. Brooks

1 highlight

More important, our responses tell us that the choice between either political ideology or our friends and family, so often peddled by leaders today, is a false choice.

The Columbus Affair

“We don’t have an anger problem in American politics. We have a contempt problem. . . . If you listen to how people talk to each other in political life today, you notice it is with pure contempt. When somebody around you treats you with contempt, you never quite forget it. So if we want to solve the problem of polarization today, we have to solve the contempt problem.”
― Arthur C Brooks, Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt
