For Americans entering the twentyfirst century, it is the best of times and the worst of times. Material wealth is at record levels, yet disturbing social problems reflect a deep spiritual poverty. In this compelling book, wellknown social psychologist David G. Myers asks how this paradox has come to be and, more important, how we can spark social renewal and dream a new American dream.Myers explores the research on social ills from the 1960s through the 1990s and concludes that the materialism and radical individualism of this period have cost us dearly, imperiling our children, corroding general civility, and diminishing our happiness. However, in the voices of public figures and ordinary citizens he now hears a spirit of optimism. The national dialogue is shiftingaway from the expansion of personal rights and toward enhancement of communal civility, away from efforts to raise selfesteem and toward attempts to arouse social responsibility, away from whose values? and toward our values. Myers analyzes in detail the research on educational and other programs that deal with social problems, explaining which seem to work and why. He then offers positive and wellreasoned advice, suggesting that a renewed social ecology for America will rest on policies that balance me thinking with we thinking.
