    About this ebook

    From friendships to Facebook to far-off countries, what do we do when our lives seem mired in conflict? How do we find connection when our differences are constantly on display and even exacerbated by algorithms and echo chambers? How do we build a kinder society?

    If you are tired of the anxiety, frustration, and fear that pervade your connections with other people, both online and in real life, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers want you to know one thing--you are not alone. In this book they will help you understand the powerful connections you have with other people on a personal, community-based, national, and even international level. Then they show you how to

    - engage your family with a spirit of curiosity
    - listen closely to the anxieties and fears of your friends
    - explore shared values within your community
    - understand your work as a citizen in a diverse country
    - hold lightly those things that are beyond your control around the world

    The status quo isn't working. If you long to be a peacemaker and a positive influence in your spheres, Now What? is your door to a future that is characterized by hope, love, and connection despite our differences.

      Friends, if you’ve ever trusted me, trust me today when I tell you this is the book to read. Because I preordered, I was able to get an early digital copy of Now What? as part of their launch team. Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers have given us a beautiful, smart, and accessible way to make connections with those around us. Whether family, friends, or the weird people who we see in social media, this book gives practical and thoughtful ways to consider how to connect with others.
