Riassunto

America is a great country, a fact that can easily be lost in all the bickering and negativity of our culture today. What makes us great are ten core values that have always been found at the heart of America:Compassion, Opportunity, Responsibility, EqualityValor, Ambition, Liberty, Unity, Enterprise, SpiritualityIn 10 short chapters, the author explains why these values form the foundation of our country, from our Founding Fathers to popular culture. He then shows how and why each of us should instill these values in our daily lives - not to return to an outdated ideal or to throw back history - but to step forward together into a brave new world.At the end of each chapter, the author tells the stories of contemporary Americans who illustrate these principles and are inspiring examples of lives well lived. Some of these people are famous; most are just ordinary people who have chosen to do extraordinary things, like the housewife who provides 800,000 hot meals to shut-ins every year, and the woman who led a valiant fight against strip mining that was poisoning her West Virginia town.The Heart of America is not about finger-pointing at either side in the culture debate; it is a call to personal responsibility for the future of America with the understanding that America will be whatever we are.
