If you are wrestling with what is happening in the world, I would like to recommend two books to you.
First, please consider reading Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. It will provide you with some context and grounding for the culture that has grown up around the advent of the screen.Second, please consider reading The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt. It will provide you with a scaffolding to help you understand why you think the way you think and just as importantly, why other people think the way they think.
