A Hard Look in the Mirror; Fixing America's Crisis of Character: (And Our Leadership Crisis)

In this wake-up call to action, author and businessman, Patrick Walsh, speaks powerfully, relentlessly and inclusively to the hearts, minds and fears of all Americans of every race, gender and orientation, about the social, political and moral crises we face today and identifies the real solutions and changes we must embrace to safeguard our families, ourselves and our country. This book will capture the reader's attention from the very first page, because it speaks the unvarnished truth, and real truth is never boring. These are uncomfortable truths to be sure, but social, political and economic truths which Americans need to hear in order to pull together as a people, remove the blinders and shake off the political and social malaise which keeps our feet firmly stuck in the mud; mud which we have created for ourselves and which our politicians and our media rely on to perpetuate their status quo, while we keep ourselves bound in an endless cycle of teeth-gnashing, hand-wringing disillusionment, economic disasters and educational and spiritual decline. In this book there is no subject too sensitive to tackle. You will surely experience amusement, anger, laughter, reflection and motivation, as this book identifies the real-life problems, challenges and outrages we face from our political leaders and our media on both sides of the aisle, and from ourselves, while providing real-life, common-sense solutions to address them. The author challenges us to take a “Hard Look in the Mirror” at ourselves, because liberal or conservative, man or woman, black or white, straight or gay, if we are disturbed by what we see in our political leadership today, and by what we see in our schools, media, families and society, the responsibility is ours to effect positive change, together. You will also find yourself with restored hope and admiration for our Country, the vision of our Founding Fathers, and of our shared brotherhood and sisterhood with each other, encouraging us to evolve, change and take action and to vigorously continue our shared journey toward perfection, which never ends.
