Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: A Path to Reconciliation in Our Divided Times

Today, I’m excited to welcome Gregory J. Leeson, author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: A Path to Reconciliation in Our Divided Times. Join us as we explore his thought-provoking book, which delves into societal divisiveness through the life stories of ordinary individuals who have faced extraordinary challenges.

To bring these narratives to life, he embarked on an ambitious 13-month journey across North America, visiting 63 cities and conducting in-depth interviews with 71 people using a narrative psychology protocol developed by Dr. Dan P. McAdams of Northwestern University.

The book features 66 compelling mini-biographies that highlight themes of resilience, connection, and shared humanity, encouraging readers to reflect on their own lives and relationships.
