The book offers readers a daily path to incremental self-improvement and happiness that improves the world around each and… all of us.
About The Habits of Unity
This is an already-proven, personal and social changing mental health plan in a book. It’s not a book ABOUT habits – it’s a HABIT-FORMING book.
This book is a "one-minute a day" "action" guide to a better life and more empowered citizenship. Each of the 12 months of the year is branded with one colorful habit-forming value like resolve conflicts, help others, and be more positive. There are 12. One for each month.
The 365 “one-magic-minute-a-day “motivationals,” are grouped and color-coded, to help the reader form one good habit per month. Each day’s reading offers a little different perspective on each month’s habit, a daily affirmation, several inspirational quotes, and a daily “action” tip.
We all feel so helpless while America becomes more divided every day. The book’s author, Elaine Parke, believes the core problem is that our founders created a Bill of Rights, but failed to write a Bill of Responsibilities.
To be a healthy nation, citizens, as individuals, must also unite around the daily practice of democratic ideals. This doesn’t mean we all think alike. It does mean we treat others with dignity, respect, and kindness.
As President John Kennedy once suggested, The Habits of Unity, is meant to inspire a nation of democratic participants—of all races, cultures, orientations, and beliefs—who uplift themselves, others, and our national climate.
The Habits of Unity, helps us be better citizens by giving readers a simple, doable framework for practicing 12 good habits. Simultaneously, practicing these habits improves mental health. (Yes…good citizenship and mental wellness go hand in hand!)
With its monthly-branded, yet daily actions framework, the book provides an “organic” and organized approach to transformation. Elaine’s dream is to spark a unity revolution across various groups starting at home – also in communities, schools, workplaces, and ESPECIALLY all government and corporate leaders, —that rises from the ground up and sweeps across the nation.
Elaine Parke has an impressive history of creating programs that work. An MBA and former corporate executive who shifted her focus because she wanted to help people get along better, she’s waged this 12-month campaign in schools and communities for 30 years via radio, TV, posters, flyers, and group events. This book now shares her 12 unity habits with readers.
The campaign reached several million people in western Pennsylvania with results evaluated by nine independent studies. Overall, seventy-two percent (72%) of surveyed citizens said they felt more connected to others.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they’d improved their behaviors. Student conflicts were reduced, and academics improved. It was deemed a social invention by the London Institute in 1993 When citizen problems go down, human suffering and the cost of government goes down for all of us.
If we’ve learned one thing from social media, it’s that shared thoughts, whether true or not, become powerful beyond measure when they reach lots of people at the same time and are repeated again and again. Together, let’s start a “Bill of Responsibilities” revolution.
“Together we heal the country we all share.” – Elaine Parke
