Writing and Making a Difference - ChangeMakeres Digest

In this digest Amanda and Samuel look at if and when writing and reading help us make a difference. Amanda shares some of her reflections in writing her new book Conscious Tribes, and together they compare the idea of writing as a conversation with the reader and writing as an act of persuasion used to convince the reader of a particular way of thinking. Borrowing insights from Chris Nolan's adaptation of Homer's Odssey and Hannah Arendt's exploration of public and private, and story, they explore what it means to tell (and retell) our stories, and to share stories with others in mind. You can find our more and order Amanda's book Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference here. ======== For more about ChangeMakers check us out: Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)
