Each day during the week leading up to the U.S. presidential inauguration of 2017, the Center for Courage and Renewal distributed one short video in their electronic newsletter. Each of these videos describes one of “Five Habits of the Heart,” which are presented by Parker J. Palmer in his book, Healing the Heart of Democracy.

Habit 2: An appreciation of the value of “otherness”

Habit 3: An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways
