Nader is known for his lifetime of progressive activism and fearless critique of corruption in American politics and society. Here, he takes a look backward--at a serene and enriching childhood spent in bucolic Winsted, Connecticut, and at the traditions he absorbed within his family. From listening to learning, from patriotism to argument, from work to simple enjoyment, Nader revisits seventeen traditions he learned from his parents, his siblings, and the people in his community, and draws from them lessons for today's society.--From publisher description
