It's often common practice for books to be written from pundits, experts or from the perspective of people who have mastered a particular skill set to the degree in which they can convey it into a book or novel. This book challenges that. In lieu of the current dispensation of divisive politics and partisanship, Isaiah Lewis draws from his experiences as an undergraduate as well as his brief stints working in municipal government in order to give a bird's-eye view, or rather, "bleacher's point of view" perspective, on how power and democracy are playing out in society. This book seeks to bridge the gap of understanding among people working from the ground, up to people who are making some of the most important decisions in our world. It speaks truth to power in a very peaceful yet impactful way. By sharing his personal experiences, setbacks, and inefficiencies, he seeks to help others understand their self-value and how all our actions shape the true meaning of what a democracy should be. The goal of this book is to shed light on the idea that power and democracy transcend government and political tribalism. It also highlights how the aesthetic (or appeal of power) shapes not only our democracy but our lives as well. The author looks to illustrate the importance of not discounting your own experiences and how it is very important to not allow your self-worth or value to be determined by your title or position. Moreover, this book shows that change starts with personal practice and not just policy.
