In so fractured a society and body politic they are questions to help break down the barriers to knowledge, build empathy, and provide an environment to tackle thorny interpersonal problems as well as problems of public policy.
There are several touching and funny stories to illustrate his points.
Remind me to ask my daughter to read it.
