Why have disagreements become so flammable? Why are progressive people calling for censorship in comedy? How has the so-called \"transgender debate\" become so toxic, and what can we do to help? How is our empathy being manipulated by the internet? How does AI operate like a psychopath? How do we achieve progress in today's screaming hellscape? We are understandably scared to have difficult conversations right now. But comedian and bestselling writer Deborah Frances-White is even more scared of not having them. Having grown up in a cult which shut down any dissent, Deborah sees the same tactics being used in our rapidly changing society. She knows the value of freedom of speech, critical thinking, and the ability to argue well. And as the host of hit podcast \"The Guilty Feminist,\" she has been having difficult conversations in public for almost a decade. In her new, urgent page-turner, \"The Guilty Feminist Guide to Change the World,\" Deborah tackles the most pressing issues of our time with her trademark wit and wisdom. From the gender pay gap to climate change, from racism to misogyny, Deborah offers practical advice on how to engage in meaningful dialogue and make a positive difference in the world. She challenges us to listen more deeply, to be more open-minded, and to be willing to change our minds.
