How To Talk Politics With Your Dad (Without Yelling) Pt 2 - Encore

Today we’re going to see if one American family can flip the usual, tortured and tedious script for arguing about politics and do something more interesting. [Jenn] (https://wearehearken.com/staff/) and Todd Brandel sit down with their dad, Bruce, to see if they can come to a better understanding about what has shaped their different political views.

How To Talk Politics With Your Dad (Without Yelling) Pt 1 - Encore

[Jenn] (https://wearehearken.com/staff/) and Todd Brandel have a close, loving relationship with their father, Bruce. But one thing makes their blood boil: his political chain emails. The messages are often forwarded commentary written in a provocative tone, and are an unwelcome reminder of just how far apart the family is politically. On this episode of How To!, we’re joined by [Mónica Guzmán] (https://moniguzman.com/) , senior fellow for public practice at [Braver Angels] (https://braverangels.org/) and author of [I Never Thought Of It That Way: How To Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times] (https://moniguzman.com/#book) . In the first of a special two-part episode on talking politics with our parents, Mónica teaches Jenn and Todd how to aim for understanding with their dad, not agreement. Next week, Jenn, Todd, and their dad Bruce will put these tips into practice—on mic—around the kitchen table, as Mónica provides post-game analysis. We’ll dive into what worked, what got a little messy, and how to keep making progress.

How To Face Your Fear of Dying (Encore)

Katie is terrified of dying. As the youngest in a big family, she can’t stop thinking about the fact that all her loved ones may die before she does. Katie is a comedy writer who knows how to get laughs, but her obsession with death is real, and getting in the way of living. In this episode of How To!, we bring on Rachel Menzies, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Sydney and author of [Tales from the Valley of Death] (https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Valley-Death-Reflections-psychotherapy/dp/1925644359/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=rachel+menzies&qid=1607096278&sr=8-1?tag=slatmaga-20) , to share what she’s learned about death anxiety. Exposure therapy is often the most effective way to overcome your fears, but how do you expose yourself to death? Rachel has some unusual ideas for Katie—and all of us—to take control of these intrusive thoughts, starting with lying in a body bag. Focusing deliberately on death, Rachel says, can actually help us appreciate life.

How To Be Less Judgy

Erica judges other people by default. Whether they are acquaintances, co-workers, or new arrivals in a club, her first impression is often negative. “I would like to learn how to quash that part of myself,” she says, because those judgments might be ruling out potential friendships. On this episode of How To!, Courtney Martin brings on [Dr. Terri Apter] (https://terriapter.com/) , psychologist and author of [Passing Judgment: The Power of Praise & Blame in Everyday Life.] (https://terriapter.com/books/) Terri explains that Erica’s initial reactions are more useful than she thinks—and can help her better understand herself.
