Monica Guzman: We all have wonderful and challenging memories of our childhood. Not me, actually, my mom. My mom was his and was the same when I was young. So I don't have anything I get to say about my mom. But if it's the devil, then you're probably, like he said, back away, start somewhere else.
In our highly polarized times, everyone seems obsessed with the truth: what is it, who has it, and which side's got it all wrong. What we don't seem to care about, says journalist Monica Guzman, is the truth behind perspectives other than our own. Listen as Guzman and host Russ Roberts discuss Guzman's book I Never Thought of It That Way, a call to get interested in the people behind the positions, and the experiences, hopes, and fears that lead to their beliefs. Guzman and Roberts also discuss the role of great questions in sparking meaningful conversations, and how we can not only get along with, but even learn from, those with whom we ardently disagree.
