Eric Liu Says You’re More Powerful Than You Think

I’ve been thinking about the term “citizenship” differently after talking with my latest guest, Eric Liu, an author, educator, and civic entrepreneur. He spoke at length about the concept of “powerful citizenship,” the central theme of his new book, You’re More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen’s Guide to Making Change Happen. He describes his book as: “strategies for average Americans to go from the primal scream of ‘I’m not going to take it anymore!’ to actually being literate in power and understanding how you change the game to change the system.”
