Americans have always had their disagreements, but lately, our political tensions have reached a new level - one that Amanda Ripley refers to as high conflict, when discord distills into a good-versus-evil kind of feud, with an us and a them and those on both sides seeing every issue as existential. How can we move from seeing our political opponents as enemies back to seeing them as fellow citizens? What tools can we use to move from high conflict back to productive tension and debate? In her new book, entitled High Conflict, Amanda Ripley outlines five steps to break free of the vicious conflicts we're ensnared in.
Amanda will be joining us for a special conversation by video on Thursday, December 2 from 3-4pm ET / 12-1pm PT.
