Stranger at the DoorCan We Live in "e;Us Versus Them"e;?Every day we open a door to strangers.Sometimes they stand on our porch. More often they appear on our television screens, social media feeds, political debates, neighborhoods, workplaces, and even around our own dinner tables.Why do we so quickly divide people into "e;us"e; and "e;them"e;?Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, history, and a lifetime of listening to people, Brother Pascal shows how our ancient survival brain naturally creates fear, suspicion, and division. Understanding this hidden process does not excuse prejudice or hostility—but it does explain why they are so common.With warmth, stories, humor, and practical wisdom, Stranger at the Door invites readers to recognize their own automatic reactions, become more aware of the stories they tell themselves, and discover a more compassionate way of seeing others.At a time when our world seems increasingly divided, this hopeful book reminds us that the stranger at the door may become our greatest teacher.,"e;When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."e;—
