Summary:
Community
shapes our identity, quenches our thirst for belonging, and bolsters our physical, mental, emotional, and economic health. But in the chaos of modern life,
community
ties have become unraveled, leaving many feeling afraid or alone in the crowd, grasping at shallow substitutes for true
community
. Paul Born describes the four pillars of deep
community
: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working
together
for a better world. To show the role each of these plays, he shares his own stories, as a child of refugees and as a longtime
community
activist. It's up to us to create
community
. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it. Paul Born is the cofounder of Tamarack, An Institute for
Community
Engagement. He is the author of
Community
Conversations.
