On this episode of the Argument Ninja podcast I share the audio from an interview I did with Brittney-Nichole Connor-Savarda for her for a new podcast, Living and Leading with Emotional Intelligence.
Brittney-Nicole's show coincides with the publication of a book she's written on the topic of emotional intelligence, The EQ Deficiency.
Topics discussed:
- How Brittney-Nichole came to be familiar with my work
- Definitions of tribalism and tribal psychology
- The evolutionary roots of tribal psychology; positive and negative aspects of tribalism
- Definition of polarization, and the effects of increasing polarization
- Why certain kinds of truth-seeking communication can only happen in the interstitial spaces between ideologically charged tribal zones
- Why "complexity is unstable" within polarized groups
- Strategies for improving our emotional intelligence by learning more about, and embracing, our tribal psychology
- Why "character is contextual", and how we can take advantage of this fact for personal growth
- Mental models for understanding human nature and social change, and cultivating emotional intelligence
