They're internally contradicted more than we think. We can make the kind of change we seek, we deserve in this country, if we allow the idea that more of us are contradicted, more of us need help sorting through the world, and we have the patience \u2014 we can muster that kind of patience and love to help people sort through how they see the world.\u201d Bestselling author Anand Giridharadas (Winners Take All) joins us on the show to talk about his urgent new book,\xa0The Persuaders: At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds, and Democracy, psychological transitions and cognitive dissonance, not giving up and bringing people into community, doing the work that works for you, how writing this book changed him and much more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer.
