Overwhelmed at the choices, she asked her sons what they wanted to do during summer: "Soccer? Zoo School? Little Prodigy's Art Club?" "Why can't we just play?" they asked. A summer with no scheduled activities at all. The thought was tempting, but was it possible? It would be like something out of the 1950s.

The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen.

In this powerfully written book, Livingston argues that Black people can pursue three paths. They can play the game, or find ways to make white people feel “unthreatened” without sacrificing their own dignity, identity, or authenticity. Think of Kenneth Chenault, for example, a “tempered radical” who rose through the ranks to become the first Black CEO of American Express. They can change the game, or challenge the system head on—like Colin Kaepernick, whose idealism cost him his football career but made him an icon. And finally they can leave the game, or turn away altogether from traditionally white environments to carve out spaces where Black people can flourish
