You're More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen

By Eric Liu

Book Overview

A handbook for how political power really works, and what it takes to make change happen

" Liu] addresses a central question of this age: what, exactly, citizens who are unhappy with national politics can do, other than write a check or await the next chance to vote." --The Atlantic

In this age of epic political turbulence, citizens everywhere are organizing to claim their power. Do you understand what power truly is, how it flows, who has it, and how you can exercise it? This incisive, inspiring, and provocative book from Citizen University founder Eric Liu offers the answers.

Using examples from the left and right, past and present, he reveals the core laws of civic power. He shows that all of us can generate power--and then, step by step, he shows us how. The strategies of reform and revolution Liu lays out will help every reader make sense of our world today. If you want to be more than a spectator in this new era, you need to read this book.
