The holiday season brings with it many traditions, two of which we're covering in today's episode: Navigating contentious conversations or disagreements with family members and incessant reminders to practice gratitude. Both of those can be difficult, so today we talk through strategies for knowing when to engage in disagreement and when to walk away, the surprising phrase that might help change someone's mind, and ways to practice and think about gratitude that are actually useful. Plus: a quick rundown on our favorite and least favorite Thanksgiving dishes.
