Changing Minds [Rebroadcast]

Let’s face it. Sometimes you can’t stand your neighbor’s guts. Problem is, contempt for people who think differently from you is the death knell of democracy, says writer Anand Giridharadas. He set out in search of the lost art of persuasion, and found it: among activists, cult-deprogrammers, political organizers and deep canvassers. Giridharadas shares what he found and offers some advice on how to talk to your friends — and enemies. Catch up and gear up for a new season of the show, beginning Sept. 6.
