Critics Review
Charles poses the important social questions of our time: What do we do about the flood of disinformation poisoning our minds; the erosion of trust in our societies; the feelings of alienation and fear within communities. But he actually has answers! He outlines, in detail, how we can become well-informed, trustful and engaged citizens once again. This is a very important book, one that provides hope along with a call to action. Buy two! You will want to share with others. – Carol Off
The Trust Experiments is nothing less than a manifesto for rebuilding human connection. Charles Montgomery shows that the forces dividing us are not inevitable. They are designed, which means they can be redesigned–for common good. – Thomas Garvey, President (2023–2025), World Design Organization
