37. Empathy and Argument: Tamsen Webster, ‘Find Your Red Thread’ x ‘Mistakes Were Made (But not by Me)’

Aug 17, 2021

Part of the genius of humankind, the very bedrock of civilization is our ability to have ideas and to share them. “Hey, have you noticed ...? Hey, what if...?” That’s why it’s SO irritating that it’s SO hard to actually transmit your best thoughts. Tamsen Webster can help. She bridges worlds as an English-to-English translator. She’s worked with hundreds of TEDx speakers to help take ideas from nebulous and confusing to irresistibly compelling. Her new book, Find Your Red Thread, is a blueprint.
