It traces how opposing factors of social interaction have swung through 170 years of American history, examines the disjunction between the past and the present, and how the present culture of nihilistic freedom has led to the denial of ethical principles that former generations took for granted.

This is a softcover book. "On days of uncertainty about life and death, existential insecurity, and the essential void within, I would read a few pages from Chodron and go on my walking meditation in nature. The good nun was a wonderful guide on my journey, but the old Catholic, Jansenistic roots ran deep in the soil. My religious neurosis. My default position. Simply my old habits. ...My Jansenistic curse, I surmised, could be a gem with an outer hard shell. I looked for a guide who could crack it open. ...Doing what I have to do. Waiting, walking, and breathing. Just being aware that I am, not what I am." -Aloysius Michael
