Description
Bestselling author and award-winning psychologist Leonard Felder, PhD explores how to respond to the political and religious disagreements that are currently causing painful moments at family get-togethers, workplace conversations, and congregational meetings. When people in your life get on your nerves about red versus blue, or about Israel, or about LGBT issues, or about #MeToo controversies, or about how to practice religion, it can divide loved ones and destroy relationships. "We See It So Differently" has several easy-to-learn and highly-effective Jewish mindfulness methods anyone can utilize for making sure that you are able to respond with compassion, wisdom and integrity each time you start to cringe because someone is spouting some opinions that horrify you. Utilizing these creative and effective ways to disagree without being disagreeable could save your next holiday get-together or phone call to a relative, and restore the peace in your family, your workplace, and your congregation.
