Ep. 293 How to Talk Civilly About Difficult Things

Start listening

We cannot solve the problems facing the world right now if we are unable to communicate, in a civil and open way, with one another, especially with those who think radically differently than we do.

Instead of listening with curiosity, so many turn to yelling, hostility, and anger, shutting down the conversations we should be having.

But we can change that. In this show, psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis, founder of the Decency Project and author of Your Next Big Thing: Ten Small Steps to Get Moving and Get Happy, says we can learn to communicate well about difficult things and that kind of civil discussion begins with self-awareness and tolerant actions. Listen in to learn how to better manage difficult conversations.
