How to Navigate the Intense Political Divide
In this week\u2019s solo episode, I contemplate our ability to have authentic conversations about the divisive nature of the news and the complex issues we\u2019re facing in our country and our world right now. By way of an example, I describe an interesting and challenging conversation I had on an airplane recently. The person was willing to share his passionate and very different political views with me. What if we took time to listen to each other\u2019s views without self-righteousness? Could these conversations be a way for us to grow and evolve? \xa0It\u2019s hard, especially right now, but so important.
