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 Deborah examines how the world has come to this and what we can actually do about it. Most importantly, she explores how to change minds, including our own. Deborah invites us to boldly meet this moment in history with hope, clarity and courage. She has written, as Desiree Burch says, 'a book to leave you transformed.'

Comprehensive, comprehensible, engaging, evolved take on the complex issues causing division in our society.

I feel it’s been a rebirth for my critical thinking skills and an almost ‘out of body experience’ to look at what is holding the left back and allowing MORE space to be taken up by the ever increasing right.

A MUST READ

Just a breath of fresh reason in the face of increasing polirasation in our society
