Some of us are already bracing ourselves for the conflict and tension anticipated in the upcoming 2024 US elections.
Yet we don't have to wait 'til then for the escalation of polarizing political – and media – triggers that seem to show up wherever we look. And often, uncomfortably close to home.
This episode shares the unique, bridge-building perspectives of author, activist, and Braver Angel Mónica Guzmán, whose bestselling book, I Never Thought of it That Way," guides new ways of thinking about, and learning from, what could too easily be labeled conflict – and inviting new ways to unify divided factions and reclaim balance as we look to be better together.
The episode page at www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/13 shares a few excellent Mónica talks, information on Braver Angels, and a resources about the brain's limbic system, where emotions are housed and, with practice, managed.
