How can we go from half-truths and alternative facts to real truths? How can we reduce or eliminate societal ills such as racism, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, religious dogmatism, sexism, homophobia, tribalism, colonial mentality, slave mentality, Messiah Complex, and terrorism? How can we get into the mind's eyes of others and "treat them as we would like to be treated?" How do we create environments that stimulate fearless or "hearty" conversations between peoples? How do we learn from history or other people's experiences to make functional goal-directed decisions? And, how can we inspire people to value their differences and similarities as they think and talk in our global village? These are questions that deserve answers in our respective communities, states, nations, and world. This book opens doors of communication for all people willing to create a community, state, nation, or world of harmony.
