We live in the world of the Public Adam, who God commanded to take dominion over the earth, a world that has elevated traits like ambition, self-promotion and competiton but this book calls us to re-evaluate those things we admire and to bring them back in balance with the more selfless and generous spirit embodied by the Private Adam - the nurturer and first Biblical hero. Written in the author's usual readable and punchy style this is a subversive book that both challenges our world and drives us to change.
