Synopsis

Countless people have demonstrated that ignoring one’s responsibilities and pursuing happiness at all costs ends in failure and disappointment. We, the people of the United States, have done this as a nation. We have taken the positive concept of individualism to such an extreme that we have created a culture marked by irresponsible individualism, that is, we are quick to make God and society responsible for the happiness of the individual, but we are reluctant to make the individual responsible to God and society. This is the reason we are frustrated and failing as a nation. We need a new direction. Change is what this book is all about. To find a new direction, we have to be humble enough to admit that we have failed to fulfill our responsibilities to our families, our society, our environment, and our God. Thus, the only thing that will change our nation is the willingness of our people to assume those responsibilities once again. Change will not come through a particular political party or religious denomination. Change will not come through the empty words of political leaders and presidents. Change will only come through the actions of the people. We, the people of the United States, need to change. This book is designed to foster reflection and discussion both of which are essential for change. The tone of this work is conversational not academic. Hence, there are no footnotes or bibliographies. This book is divided into four chapters with five essays in each chapter. The reader is encouraged to go through one essay each day of the work week. Each day you read an essay, share your reflections about the essay with others. The last essay presents a series of concepts and challenges that have the potential to bring about positive and lasting change, but that change will not come without a reformation in the hearts and minds of the people of the United States that leads to a Reformation in Responsibility.
