Anger, fear and loathing cut across our deeply divided, hyper-partisan political divide. From The White House and the streets of cities, to furious posts on social media, many of us objectify others. Those belong to the wrong tribe are often the objects of personal scorn.
In a recent Twitter post, our guest, Chloé Valdary, says: \"if you do not possess the power to love, and especially love your enemies, then you don't really have the power.\"
In this episode, Chloé talks about her antiracism program, Theory of Enchantment, which uses pop culture as an educational tool, teaching social and emotional learning in schools, and diversity and inclusion in companies and government agencies.
The three key principles involve:
1. We are human beings, not political abstractions.
2. Use criticism to uplift, not tear down.
3. Lead with love and compassion.
Recommendation: Jim is reading the new book, \"Utopia Avenue\" by British novelist, David Mitchell.
