From the acclaimed author of Unfinished Business, a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political livesLike much of the world, America is deeply divided over identity, equality, and history. Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughter’s candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future.Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of self‐examination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns. She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection. The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long. That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal. The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for anyone who is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision.Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and the change makers of tomorrow.

Renewal: From Crisis to Transformation in Our Lives, Work, and Politics is a powerful and timely book that offers a roadmap for navigating the challenges and opportunities of our rapidly changing world. Anne-Marie Slaughter, a renowned international relations scholar and former policymaker, argues that we are living in a time of profound transformation, and that we need to embrace change as a source of renewal and growth.

Slaughter draws on her own experiences as a woman, a mother, and a leader in both the public and private sectors to provide a unique perspective on the challenges facing individuals, families, and communities today. She argues that the old ways of thinking and doing things are no longer working, and that we need to find new ways to live and work that are more sustainable, equitable, and fulfilling.

Renewal provides a framework for understanding the complex forces that are shaping our world, and offers practical strategies for how we can respond to these challenges in a positive and productive way. Slaughter argues that we need to embrace diversity, inclusion, and collaboration, and that we need to learn to live in harmony with the natural world.
