For Stronger Relationships: Learn To Disagree Better
Our politics, which once had at least a modicum of respect and consensus, has become a ritualized cycle of outrage and denunciation. Running for office seems to more of a performance art than an exchange of ideas. But there’s hope. Occasionally we can find a voice of reason. I found one such voice in Arthur C. Brooks.
