Political polarization is one of the defining narratives of our time and fewer topics create stronger feelings of hopelessness.

In this episode, Alison Goldsworthy—co-author of "Poles Apart: Why People Turn Against Each Other, and How to Bring Them Together"—delves into some of the science behind polarization and gives tips for making progress in polarized environments. She proves we CAN find hope, even in the face of daily social divisions.

Alison's reading recommendations:

Hungary, anti-Semitism and my lost Jewish ancestors by Kate Malby.
UK government helped sanctioned Putin ally sue British journalist by Jim Fitzpatrick.
