Mind of State: Conversations on the Psychological Conflicts Stirring U.S. Politics & Society. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Mind of State: Conversations on the Psychological Conflicts Stirring U.S. Politics & Society

This compilation of conversations helps fit together the broken pieces of our American psycho-political jigsaw puzzle.
These nuanced discussions offer insights and reflections from leading experts - on psychology, politics, race, religion and more - to those of us struggling to make sense our American political nonsense.
Drawn from the Mind of State podcast created by some of the co-authors and contributors to the New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, this collection is as relevant now as it was when Apple Podcasts featured it as “New and Noteworthy” in 2019.
The chapters are divided into five sections that reveal persistent themes underlying our increasing distress due to the interconnectedness of psychology and politics in the United States:

-Acknowledging Death, Trauma, and Loss
-Why Truth Matters
-Anxieties of Race and Dominance
-Democracy at Risk
-The Importance of Myth in Politics
