Navigating Relationships in a Polarized Society

We live in a time where it can be difficult to maintain good relationships with people with opposing views. While writing her new book, Do You Still Talk to Grandma?, Brit Barron saw everyone around her struggling to hold this tension while connecting with the people they love.

In today's episode, she talks with NPR's Deepa Fernandes about binary thinking, the issue of social media, and our need to belong.
