Before You Cut Them Off
When Politics Comes Between You and the People You LoveBy Philip Ardley
Length5h 43m
About this audiobook
Meredith and her father have not talked about politics in almost two years, and they have not fought about it either. Every other Sunday they talk about the rain, his knee and her children. On the drive home she hears a sentence that has been sitting in her for a while. I miss him, and he is sitting across the table.
This book gives every number about political breaks with the question behind it, as far as the source says, asks why a disagreement starts to feel personal, and looks honestly at what experiments with strangers have tested. It helps you tell a chosen silence from a loss, keep someone without agreeing with them, and recognize when a break protects you and when it only dodges a conversation. Every piece of advice is marked Tested, Observed or Untested. The book has no favorite party. Meredith, her father and the other people in its stories are invented. The studies are real.
