Reviews

'When We Become Strangers encapsulates the workings of our modern world. It’s an intuitive read, examining issues of our time, consumerism, loneliness, social media fixation, greed and the rule of technology on our kids.'
*Lisa Friedlander, Sales and Leadership Coach*

'Maggie has again, done what she does best, placed a microscope over modern society and looked closely at who, what and how we are ... When We Become Strangers is a book every person should read.'
*Andrew Line, Creator/Director, The Rite Journey*

'Maggie restores hope and gives simple, practical steps we can all take to feel safe and connected, as we build a new way of living and turn around the estrangement we all feel.'
*Katrina Cavanough, CEO, The Kindness on Purpose Movement*

'I loved this book. An invaluable roadmap for envisioning a new society that builds connection back into community ...'
*Aimee Davies, author of Imperfect*

'Social researcher and speaker Maggie Hamilton takes an intelligent look at how Western culture discourages connecting with others. Though we evolved to be part of a tribe, prosperity and technology have allowed us to become too independent, to stay home and hire others for tasks we used to share with neighbors. Fellow Australian Christopher Brown performs with earnest respect for the author's ideas and a humble sort of vocal confidence. He doesn't miss a phrase as he glides through the richly illustrated chapters, brightening the author's observations and advice. Hamilton's reach and wisdom are extensive as she examines today's workplaces, neighborhoods, families, and schools. Enabled by our ability to buy whatever we need, our growing narcissism and overcontrol of our lives keep us from relaxing and enjoying others.'
