I think we know ourselves through our conversations.
Our deepest selves exist in relationship in some ways, and not through, you know, our 240 character opinions tossed out to be snapped up or spit out by strangers.
Hey, everyone, it's Adam Grant.
Welcome back to rethinking my podcast on the science of what makes us tick with the Ted audio collective.
I'm an organizational psychologist, and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking.
My guest today is writer and activist Rebecca Solnit.
Rebecca's a writer's writer, a true master of turning thoughts into wise words and ideas into evocative essays.
I joke that I don't think in catchphrases, I think in paragraphs.
This is a very short sentence.
I like complexity.
She's published 25 books on power change, feminism, and history, including hope in the dark, a field Guide to getting lost, and men explain things to me, which is self explanatory.
Her lithub columns are must reads, and today we're digging into how to engage in the kinds of meaningful conversations Rebecca excels at.
Rebecca, what a treat to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.
Hello, across the continent.
I've been so looking forward to this.
I think probably in the last five years, I've read six or seven different articles and thought, I wish I could write like that.
And then notice they were all by you.
Thank you.
