The CNN political analyst and USA Today columnist offers a path to coexisting without compromising on our convictions, based on her experience as a pundit during the Trump era, interviews with civil rights leaders, and fascinating research on how people actually change their minds.For the last decade and a half, Kirsten Powers has been center stage for many of our nation's most searing political and cultural battles as a columnist, TV commentator, and participant in the thunderdome of Twitter. On a good day, there will be civil disagreement. On a bad day, it's all-out trench warfare--shouting, name calling, a cycle of outrage and judgment. More than once, Powers has been left asking a question that countless Americans have started to ask: What's happened to me?In Grace-ish, Powers writes with wit and insight about our country's toxic political discourse, from the lessons she's learned navigating difficult friendships both before and after the age of Trump, to examples from history of grace under pressure--both past civil rights movements and activists working for change today--to the psychology of what actually causes people to change their minds. To be "grace-ish, " Powers learned, means attempting to look for the best in others, listening and engaging with people of opposing views, and providing a path to redemption for those who have failed spectacularly--all without compromising on your ethical and moral convictions.Provocative, smart, and filled with deep wisdom, Grace-ish is an essential read for anyone seeking sanity in a world that has lost its mind.
