Description


With this incredible workbook, renowned motivational speaker, teacher, and diversity trainer Brit Barron will guide you in the emotional work of holding onto your deepest convictions without giving up on the people you love.

Do You Still Talk to Grandma? Workbook is a practical and deeply researched guide to understanding the psychological and emotional dynamics that lead us from constructive disagreement to binary moral judgments and cancellation—and to the steps we must take if we are to transcend groupthink and transform our relationships.

In this companion to Brit Barron’s Do You Still Talk to Grandma?, readers will learn to recognize behavioral patterns in themselves, online, and in the public that cause our social justice efforts to become toxic and begin to practice new emotional and thought habits that will train them to be responsive instead of reactive. These steps include:

  • Identifying cognitive “splitting”
  • Noticing when group belonging competes with our individual values
  • Making sense of “internet brain”
  • Navigating the difference between consequences and punishment

For anyone who wants to move beyond the conflict between moral conviction and close relationships with people whose views are problematic, Do You Still Talk to Grandma? Workbook is an essential guide for the concrete actions we can take towards transformative justice in our everyday lives.
