Black and Tired

I went to my first meeting outside of the office this week.

Anthony B. Bradley spoke at the The Heritage Foundation on his latest book, Black and Tired: Essays on Race, Politics, Culture and International Development. In his book, Dr. Bradley addresses local and global disparities in human flourishing that call for prudential judgments connecting good intentions and moral philosophy with sound economic principles.

I really enjoyed the Q and A session near the end.He expressed that "Stories compel action".We need to have better narratives and stories so people may draw out the principles for themselves.If it is the other way around then we might lose our audience. This is a highly effective way of getting a message across.I shook his hand afterward and said, "thanks that was very inspiring". check him out on CSPAN, http://www.heritage.org/Events/2011/09/Balck-and-Tired ,or his video here http://bcove.me/0y3hipvc .
