Publisher's Synopsis
"You don't get people to love by telling them to love. You create the conditions for love by getting people to see their commonness with others and to lose the fear that comes from seeing the strangeness of others," writes Michael Waters in this cleverly written book that will inspire every reader with an overarching, simple message; that it is always better to observe commonalities between people and communities rather than linger over what is different between them. But Becoming Guise-Wise is not a warm and fuzzy lecture on being much nicer to each other. Rather, it proposes an extremely simple yet powerful way to end division and conflict at all levels, from inter-personal to global and everything in between. Establish this simple but transformative change in children, Waters contends, and tomorrow's world will be utterly different and immeasurably better than ever before.
