This was a book I needed after the Nov. 5th election. Initially, I wasn't sure if I would finish it. The first two chapters are heavy into the philosophy and writings of other philosophers, and it was a little hard for me to see the connections to all the vignettes. But by the 3rd chapter, it all started to have meaning for me. This book gave me a whole new way to think about freedom, what it means, and how it relates to values. I really appreciated the insights as to what we can do to strength our freedom.

I initially read this book from my library, but it's one that I will be purchasing because I'll be referring back to it time and time again in the upcoming years.
