Restoring America's Soul: Eight Principles

An America that is healthy and united—perhaps more united than ever before—is within reach, and the key lies with each and every one of us. Drawing on insights from history, science, faith, and culture, as well as personal experiences, John Kingston presents eight principles aimed at unlocking purpose, meaning, and genuine community.

Despite living in a time of unparalleled peace and prosperity, Americans are grappling with increasing division, isolation, depression, and hopelessness. These are issues of the soul, reflective of our struggle to find significance and fulfillment. We yearn for a life that is truly alive—a life brimming with purpose and shared experiences.

From a young age, Kingston envisioned a united and free America. With a friendly and conversational tone, as well as a touch of humor, Kingston taps into a diverse range of wisdom—from biblical parables and Aristotelian philosophy to the teachings of Nelson Mandela and the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, from Bruce Springsteen's songs to cutting-edge research in neuroscience and social science. Through these diverse sources, he reminds us that there is no "us" and "them", only a collective "us" in this journey together.

In his book "American Awakening," Kingston presents eight timeless principles that can help us break free from the darkness and despair, fostering a deep sense of togetherness in America and beyond. By embracing principles such as in-person connections, making the most of limited resources, finding purpose in adversity, choosing thoughtful responses over knee-jerk reactions, and embracing our individual sense of belonging, we can work towards a healthier, more united America.

Regardless of where you stand politically or spiritually, the path to a healthy and united America begins with each individual. Join the Awakening movement and let's embark on a journey of rediscovery together.
