Achieving the common good requires leaders to invoke the will-to-Good, restoring public trust by creating real-world solutions that eliminate the educational, economic, social, and environmental inequities reinforcing competition and disunity. Distrust of public, private, and social institutions has frayed the social fabric, undermined the rule of law, and clouded the luster of the American Dream.

With spiritual insight and poignant observations, Ms. Rucker reminds us that the common good has been our nation’s guiding vision, even if we have yet to manifest it for all fully.

Letting go of our myriad selfish ambitions to strive for a shared purpose, she believes we can realize the greatest good for the greatest number. Unleashing the Good argues that the status quo is no longer tenable, reminding Americans of our shared destiny to help usher in a new era of leadership that prioritizes collective well-being over personal gains, creating a chain reaction that, in turn, nurtures a culture of goodwill between and among people and nations.

This book is a clarion call to service for all people whose spiritual intent or resolute humanitarianism commits them to work wherever they are and with whatever means they have at their disposal for the good of the whole. These are the common good leaders the world needs.

Unleashing the Good: How We Learn to Prioritize the Common Good Over Personal Gain is a roadmap to help create a new and better world by becoming new and better humans. .
