I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations by Beth A. Silvers, Sarah Stewart Holland

challenging hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

These two remarkable and intelligent women signing off with their podcast catch-phrase “Keep it nuanced” is exactly what I needed to hear to cement my feelings and thoughts about this book. It was a challenging (i.e. me occasionally sassily talking at my Bluetooth speaker and then checking myself…) but extremely valuable and important book. I recommend this to all people, especially those who tend to exist in their cozy echo chamber as I usually do. The nuance piece is huge, and these women are great at pointing out the times when a particular situation is not partisan (I.e. condemning the events in Charlottesville 2017), which is where I was sometimes struggling in this post-January 6th era, but they also presented helpful strategies for how to engage in productive dialogue and what to do when it’s no longer productive.
