I’ve put together a short list of tips for engaging with people who hold views contrary to your own. The internet makes it easy to live inside our own little content bubbles where we are protected from any viewpoints other than those with which we already agree. But this is a big problem. When we aren't exposed to opposing perspectives, we don’t learn how to relate to the people who hold them.  In the same way that dealing with challenges makes us better and more resilient, exposure to opposing viewpoints makes us intellectually sharper and more insightful.

6 Tips for Disagreeing Better

In this episode, I speak with entrepreneur and former NASA engineer, Harleen Kaur. Harleen is the founder of Ground News, a news platform that helps combat media bias by allowing people to compare how different news outlets from across the political spectrum are covering the same story. Also, I’ve been using Ground News for the past few months to give me a more well-rounded and balanced perspective on current events. I’ve found a lot of value in it. I highly recommend giving it a try! https://ground.news/thinkgrow

Break Out of Your Content Bubble - Harleen Kaur

I speak with author Tom-Butler Bowdon. While Tom was working as a government advisor in Sydney, Australia, he began reading and taking detailed notes on many classic personal growth books in an effort to further his career. He had an idea to organize these notes into a book and worked on this for four years. In 2001, he released 50 Self-Help Classics, which has been translated into 15 languages. Since then, he has distilled the most important ideas from hundreds of other classic books across multiple genres, including psychology, spirituality, and philosophy (my personal favorite). The 50 Classics Series has been immensely valuable to me in understanding the landscape of ideas in a particular field and making complicated philosophical and psychological works more accessible. Tom’s mission is simple: more people knowing more.   PLEASE SUPPORT THIS EPISODE'S SPONSOR Skillshare is an online learning community with over 25,000 courses on a wide range of subjects from cooking to writing to watercolor painting.
