The unchanged human -- Conformity is not the answer -- Befriend the mob in your mind -- No one left to cancel -- You owe the internet nothing -- Break free from "either-or" thinking -- Principles worth defending -- Liberate your tongue -- Be quick to listen, slow to speak -- Honest conflict or dishonest harmony? -- Unleash your inner maverick -- Brave expression : a price worth paying -- Enter the arena N2 - In this manifesto, Africa teaches us how to return to critical thinking and reduce societal divides by opening our minds and being more self-questioning in difficult discussions. This book will help you figure out what you truly believe-as opposed to parroting or having knee-jerk reactions in conversation. You'll learn to share your views, hear theirs, make a point you feel must be made, and try to find common ground without self-censorship or self-sabotage.
