The Habits of Unity… 12 Months to a Stronger America
by Elaine Parke

This book is a one minute a day “action” guide to a better life and a more empowered citizenship.  Each of the twelve months of the year is branded with one colorful habit-forming trait like Resolve Conflicts, Help Others and Be Grateful.  When practiced daily by patriots, these 12 unity habits emerge as a citizens’ “Bill of Responsibilities,” that make life better for everyone.
 
As a former corporate executive and youth volunteer who wants everyone to get along better, Parke came up with this daily, one-good trait-a month year-round plan.  She’s been mobilizing it in communities and schools for thirty years and seeing results.  It’s been evaluated by nine independent studies and found that it connected people and that individual actions and attitudes improved. The London Institute named it a “Social Invention.” This isn’t a book about habits, it’s a habit-forming book.
