Triggered (Paperback)

Paperback. Every day, we are bombarded with headlines that shout about division in our politics, communities, and even in our families. We are told we are oppressed or the oppressors, victims or victimizers, and the disadvantaged or privileged. But what if the true story of our fractured moment is far deeper, far more complex, and far more human than the surface battles suggest?Our divide is marked by forces more fundamental than politics.This book pulls back the curtain on eight interconnected forces lurking below the surface that are tearing at the foundations of our society. Unseen yet undeniable, they are eroding civility and fellowship, attacking common sense and fueling a cultural unraveling and a creeping despair that threatens to consume us all from within.The evidence is clear: surging violence, attacks against strong voices, and growing hatred.Long-time business coach and educator, J. P. Leask, wrote Triggered to serve as a foxhole shielded from the political battlefield where reflection and renewal can take hold."Here's a truth many don't want to hear. The divisiveness and hostility that grips our country is not a short-lived craze nor a function of the political party in power, but rather the result of long-term trends that, if not averted, have the power to tear our country apart." J.P. LeaskToday's conflict has the potential to explode into something far darker tomorrow.Through uncommon insight and scrutiny, this book connects the dots, mapping the unseen currents roiling under the surface, driving conflict and polarization.
