The CCDC Book Club will be meeting on Monday, August 31st @6:00pm.

This month, we’ll discuss Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America by Chris Murphy.

Today, the United States is in a crisis―and it’s not just a political one: over fifty years, the pursuit of profit has undermined virtue and character, while too many of us have become convinced that happiness results from acting as good consumers, rather than as good citizens. New technologies threaten essential human capabilities, like friendship, thinking, and creation. And a winner-takes-all mentality has given the rich and well-connected nearly uncontested control of our politics and has corrupted our government. The result: Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection that are vital to happiness, becoming anxious, angry, and adrift. In this vacuum, Donald Trump, feeding off the emptiness and resentment, has come to power.
