The Power of Trust and Skepticism with Jamil Zaki
All the Hacks with Chris Hutchins
Transform Cynicism into Connection through Curiosity
To engage with family members exhibiting cynicism, approach conversations with genuine curiosity rather than debate. Recognize that underlying cynicism often stems from pain, apprehension, or fear. Ask probing questions like 'What makes you feel that way?' to uncover past experiences fueling their mistrust. Encourage them to articulate what they would desire if trust were established—this can reveal their core values and goals. Direct the conversation towards how cynicism may hinder achieving their aspirations, positioning it as a barrier to desired community and connection. Suggest treating life as a social experiment to challenge their perspectives. Sharing relevant resources, such as thought-provoking podcasts, can serve as a gentle nudge towards openness and connection.
