Angry, Bored, Confused

Angry, Bored, and Confused—three words that aptly describe the typical American’s view toward the world of politics. But it doesn’t have to stay this way, argues Michael J. Kryzanek in Angry, Bored, Confused: A Citizen Handbook of American Politics. Kryzanek discusses issues central to American politics—citizenship, power, leadership, problem solving, initiating change—through a series of straightforward questions, with sometimes surprising answers. Angry, Bored, Confused examines American politics from the perspective of an anxious consumer seeking to understand the political world and change it for the better.
