Good Conflict | Amanda Ripley | An Episode From "On Being"

About this episode

<p>Today we are dropping down our feed a conversation that I listened to recently that had a huge impact on me. It's from a great show that I'm sure many of you have heard of, <a href= "https://onbeing.org/series/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Being with Krista Tippett</a>. It's been around for decades, and it explores the question of what it means to be human, how to do life better, how to live with each other in complex times.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Krista Tippett is a recent friend of mine, somebody who I have long admired and really, like – she was on the show just recently. They've got a new season of their show going right now, over on the On Being feed, which I highly recommend you check out. They're doing episodes on the intelligence of the human body, what AI might be calling us to as human beings, and much more. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>They've also got a 20 year archive of conversations with people like Mary Oliver, John O'Donohue, and Desmond Tutu, which is pretty extraordinary. And this conversation, which, as I mentioned earlier, has had a big impact on me seems unfortunately quite relevant. It's about conflict and how to do it right: the difference between healthy conflict, which is an unavoidable part of life, and high conflict, which we see all around us these days, but which is avoidable.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>
