Six Conversations We're Scared to Have

Deborah Frances-White writes with the clear sightedness that we need right now. She gives us hope that some of the most intractable dilemmas of today might just might be manageable if we can all connect with each other. In this book Deborah's insight and clarity gives us all something to aspire to * David Tennant * Nothing feels worse than not being able to talk, to ask questions, to engage, to disagree, to agree, to enjoy one another's often divergent views and to accept one another in the spirit of human oddness. If you have ever felt shut down, this book is a godsend. The greatest thing about it is it invites you to disagree just as much as it invites you to re-consider. Writing it was an act of profound philosophical compassion * Emma Thompson * A must read that will leave you agreeing in part, disagreeing in part and still thinking, which is exactly the point. In a world full of noise and confusion, but lacking in hope, this book illuminates a pathway to real debate, enriched by deep thinking and calm reasoning * Julia Gillard * Deborah has written the exact book the world needs to read right now. Compassionate, rigorous, electric! * Travis Alabanza * A mental macchiato on every page. Stimulating, challenging, disarming, original, pithy, gritty and witty - a must read. Administer immediately * Kathy Lette * This book is a wonderful invitation to open your mind, open your heart and let some nuance and compassion in. You won't agree with everything Deborah writes, but that's the whole point! * Mary Ann Sieghart * Humane, rigorous and important * Bridget Christie *
