9. Protect Yourself from Divisive Influences in Party Politics

Update: 2021-12-30

Description

How can we take part in our democracy and be as effective as we can, without suffering from the unpleasant emotions that arise from us-and-them thinking? Emotions like outrage about the terrible things the other side has done or fear of what they might catastrophically do? This episode of SuperPower Curiosity spells out the 4 tricks that politicians play to get us fearful and angry. Seeing through these political games gives us peace of mind and is likely to make whatever political involvement we choose more effective. This episode is excerpted from Dr. Richard Gillett’s #1 bestselling book: It’s a Freakin’ Mess: How to Thrive in Divisive Times.
