"One of the most complete and comprehensive books—on any subject matter—that I have ever read.
Reviving America connects the dots from the 50,000-foot view to specific actions that an individual or organization can take. More importantly, the book doesn’t simply try to do that—it does it.
Its multiple frameworks and levels of analysis are applied with precision, in language that is understandable and unambiguous. The book is thoughtful, engaging, and invites the reader to think, while demonstrating how its ideas and concepts are interconnected.
What particularly stands out is its usefulness and application: How can these ideas be used? How do they apply? How are they grounded in history, morality, and practical considerations?
The comprehensiveness and thought behind Reviving America are evident throughout. It is a book that keeps the reader turning the pages while encouraging them not to miss what each idea contributes to the larger picture.
Very impressive, thoughtful, and useful."

"David George has created a masterpiece of systems thinking for readers to use personally in assessing America’s (and their personal efforts) to keep the core values our Founding Fathers declared were “essential” to keep America a democratic republic. The stumbling block? You have to embrace and employ the author’s recommendations and exercises on “communication” to realize the benefits!
Civil discourse is not an easy assignment for the majority of American citizens. Why not? Because it is easier to judge than it is to think. And yet, the Founding Fathers suspended their need to judge others and to think through the ways to hold civil discourse on behalf of others when they were in the First Continental Congress! How could they not judge one another when their buttons were being pushed every day?
They held fast to one single ideal—they must keep cool heads because they were representing the 2.5 million Americans that were then citizens of a new nation AND the future generations that would come after them. David George assumes we all know that! He is calling on all of us to “STEP UP” to this higher standard and think before we judge.
What happens if we fail to do this? We will eventually become everything that the movie “IDIOCRACY” predicted we will become!"
