Citizen Can by John L. Hurlbut

A patriotic and passionate ode to citizenship as an idea and a state of being, Citizen Can: Just a Concerned Person Who Believes We Can Attain a Higher Level of Mutual Existence by John L. Hurlbut is a timely reflection on responsibility to ourselves, each other, and the nations we call home. A memoir, political primer, and self-help manual all rolled into one, the prose is philosophical but accessible, peppered with powerful quotes from great leaders and thinkers of past and present. Exploring societal dynamics, tribalism, and the contemporary landscape of immigration, citizenship, and national loyalty, Hurlbut makes a compelling argument for critical thinking, active listening, and greater compassion for the world we’re all co-creating together.
