Jamie Murray Book Signing

Join us Sunday, November 2nd at 1:00p.m. to welcome local author Jamie Murray and celebrate his book, The Culture War Code. 

About the Book: 

In The Culture War Code, author Jamie Murray reveals that the current polarization in our politics and society aren't simply disagreements on lifestyles and policy; they're clashes between fundamentally different "mental operating systems" that determine how we process reality itself.

Drawing on decades of armchair research in developmental psychology, generational theory, and values evolution, Murray decodes the four dimensions that create our unique perspective: our values operating system, our generational coordinates, our position in history's recurring cycles, and our developmental stage in the arc of our lives. 

Through these lenses, that argument with your uncle about "kids these days" becomes understandable—you're literally running incompatible software.

Part guidebook, part call to action, this book offers practical translation tools you can use at your next family gathering. Learn to recognize the eight core operating systems (from survival-focused to cosmic unity), understand why different generations see the world so differently, and master the art of bridging divides with people you love.

With humor, insight, and refreshing honesty, The Culture War Code shows that democracy's future might just depend on learning to disagree with curiosity instead of contempt—starting at your kitchen table.

About the Author: 

Jamie Murray is a Xennial consciousness explorer born between generations—analog enough to remember life before the internet, digital enough to embrace AI as a creative collaborator. As the author of The Culture War Code, Murray brings a unique "generational double agent" perspective to understanding why we can't seem to talk to each other anymore.

Based in Park City, Utah, Murray divides time between mountain trails and meditation cushions, exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom traditions and emerging technologies. A self-described bridge-builder by necessity, Murray has spent decades studying developmental psychology, generational theory, and values evolution—not from an academic ivory tower, but from the messy reality of navigating family dinners where culture wars erupt between the salt shaker and the garlic bread.

Murray's work integrates insights from diverse wisdom traditions with cutting-edge research, seeking patterns that help make sense of our fractured moment. An early adopter of AI-assisted writing, Murray sees technology not as a replacement for human creativity but as a tool for expanding it—much like learning a new language opens new ways of thinking.

When not translating between worldviews, you'll find Murray hiking the Wasatch Mountains, practicing meditation, or experimenting with the latest adventure sport gadget—always seeking that sweet spot where ancient wisdom meets modern innovation, where analog depth meets digital possibility.
