When the country could no longer see straight across the political divide, M nica set out to find what was blinding us and discovered the most eye-opening tool we're not using- our own built-in curiosity.Partisanship is up, trust is down, and our social media feeds make us sure we're right and everyone else is ignorant (or worse).

She shows you how to overcome the fear and certainty that surround us to finally do what only seems impossible- understand and even learn from people in your life whose whole worldview is different from or even opposed to yours.Drawing from cross-partisan conversations she's had, organized, or witnessed everywhere from the echo chambers on social media to the wheat fields in Oregon to raw, unfiltered fights with her own family on election night, M nica shows how you can put your natural sense of wonder to work for you immediately, finding the answers you need by talking with people-rather than about them-and asking the questions you want, curiously.In these pages, you'll learn-How to ask what you really want to know (even if you're afraid to)How to grow smarter from even the most tense interactions, online or offHow to cross boundaries and find common ground-with anyoneWhether you're left, right, center, or not a fan of labels- If you're ready to fight back against the confusion, heartbreak, and madness of our dangerously divided times-in your own life, at least-M nica's got the tools and fresh, surprising insights to prove that seeing where people are coming from isn't just possible. It's easier than you think.
