Another Way Is Possible–Circle, Compassion, and the Struggle to Belong Together

An Excerpt:

Advocacy is important. It's the process of identifying a problem, proposing a solution, and persuading others. But when we over-index on advocacy, we underdevelop our capacity for dialogue. It takes skill to understand views you don’t agree with. It takes skill to sit with someone’s pain without correcting or critiquing it. It takes skill to stay present—to neither give up nor give in.
