How to have curious conversations in dangerously divided times (w/ Monica Guzman)
b'
When was the last time you really connected with someone who disagrees with you? Or saw a post on social media that challenged your views? Or listened to a newscast from across the political aisle? Modern life places us in all kinds of echo chambers \\u2013 so what happens when these divides stop us from actually seeing and understanding one another? Today\\u2019s guest, journalist M\\xf3nica Guzm\\xe1n, is the daughter of Mexican immigrants who voted \\u2013twice\\u2013 for Donald Trump. Now the chief storyteller for \\u201cBraver Angels\\u201d, an organization dedicated to political depolarization, Monica shares the tools she uses to find common ground with her loved ones. She talks about why interacting with (and listening to) different points of view is critical work \\u2013 and how through curiosity we can achieve the seemingly impossible task of understanding those we tend to think of as our enemy. Her book, \\u201cI Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times\\u201d is out now.
