It has been a really nice day today - the first day of the Utah League of Cities and Towns conference, and we enjoyed an excellent keynote address by Harvard University Professor Arthur’s Brooks. If you haven’t heard before from Arthur Brooks, you will want to. He challenges his listeners to respond to political differences with love and compassion, rather than with contempt. If you have an extra 6 minutes, you might want to watch this little video clip from Dr. Brooks that highlights a few of his ideas about how we can do better in our political dialog.
