The Surprising Truth About Changing Minds in Politics with Sarah Stein Lubrano, Part 1
Host Reed Galen is joined by Sarah Stein Lubrano - writer, researcher, and author of Don’t Talk About Politics: How to Change 21st Century Minds - for a candid conversation about what really changes minds in today’s divided world. They dig into why traditional debates and protests rarely move the needle, the real reasons people hold onto their beliefs, and how genuine relationships and action can be what makes a difference.
Sarah shares insights from her research on political behavior and cognitive dissonance, explains why changing minds is often a slow, social process, and talks about how activists can build movements that actually last. Plus, the limits of “debate culture,” what both left and right get wrong about persuasion, and why purpose-driven community is more powerful than traditionally expected.
