'Together' by Ece Temelkuran is a book that defines our new political story that will shape the way we see the world and the way we choose to build our future. It's a book that looks at the view point "I want things to change but I don't know how" and says "enough". It's a book that says here's what we need to do going forward: 10 choices we can make about how to be, and what to do, for a future that puts our humanity first.
