Braver Angels: building trust, empathy and decency across the political chasm

How can be rebuild trust in politics, politicians and each other? How would it feel to be free of partisan divisions?  Could we heal our world in time?  Braver Angels is dedicated to helping people bridge divides - to find the better angels of themselves and each other.  Braver Angels - originally Better Angels - came into being after the divisive nightmare of the 2016 Presidential Election in the US.  It began with a group of people in a barn in South Lebanon Ohio and has since spread to 20,000 people around the US, with chapters in other nations around the world.  Their skill - their superpower - is to bring the social and humane technologies originally created to help bring together couples on the brink of the most acrimonious divorces.  With skills in listening and a good dose of empathy, they help us to see the humanity in each other and so find the best of ourselves to bring to the table.  John Wood Jr is an Ambassador for Braver Angels and has been working in the depths of the partisan divide.  In this podcast episode, he shares the experience and wisdom of his journey, and that of the Braver Angels project.  Details here:  https://braverangels.org
