Episode notes

In this chapter, they discuss their interpretation of living a good life. On an intimate scale, living a good life means being a good parent, partner, and friend, fostering genuine connections and love amidst the busyness of life. On a societal level, it means actively engaging in the betterment of the community and leaving a positive impact on the world. They emphasize the importance of balancing personal relationships with contributing to a better society.

In an era of polarization, we’ve lost the art of gathering, listening, and connecting across divides. How can we rediscover the power of discourse to build mutual understanding?

Priya Parker, Anand Giridharadas, and Jonah Berger reveal simple but transformative tools to help us relearn how to truly listen, relate, and influence. Through stories and guidance, we uncover how to create spaces for bearing witness to shared humanity, open minds and hearts through persuasive conversation, and choose words that connect rather than divide. Join us as we uncover a path back to empathy, dignity, and healing in our fractured world.
