Opis

The Spin Doctrine is an inspiring toolbox for navigating the contemporary world. At its heart is the aspiration for effective communication, empowering future generations to transcend bias and prejudice. Deeply empathetic in orientation, it offers the means have structured dialogue with people who hold different opinions. Without a political axe to grind, it offers tools rather than prescriptions, enabling readers to become better citizens, consumers, and human beings. The text enables readers to achieve three things: to critically examine one's own ideas, critically examine the ideas of other people, and have a better quality of dialogue between the two.
