The liberal myth is that politics is when we change people's minds with words. But as this book demonstrates, people's minds are rarely changed by arguments alone (and "discourse" often serves as a legitimizing myth for those in power). Instead, we can change people's hearts and minds only when we change their lives--through building relationships and helping them take action. Let's stop talking about politics and create a new world instead.
