Win Hearts, Then Minds + Your Questions Answered on Identity and "Covering"
There’s a saying that’s attributed to the Dalai Lama: in the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher. It’s a nice idea. But when people don’t share our values, it’s hard for us to tolerate theirs. This week, we bring you a favorite episode with sociologist Robb Willer. We discuss the common mistakes we make in trying to persuade others of our point of view — and how to break out of our echo chambers. Then, Kenji Yoshino answers your questions about how we hide our true selves.
In this week’s show, you’ll learn:
*What’s happening in our minds when we’re trying to win an argument.
*Techniques for how to take another person’s perspective — and how to become more effective in persuading them of your perspective.
*The most successful protest tactics in winning allies.
*Why we might shift from trying to change someone’s mind to trying to change their behavior.
