Hello, Guilty Feminist. This is Deborah. I have a brand new book coming out on the 3rd of April

2025. It's called Six Conversations We're Scared to Have. And it's about how to change minds,

including your own. It's a plea to rest our amygdala so we can think critically and communicate

well so that we can move forward and start doing something different from what we have been doing,

which is losing ground to the right. In the book, I look at my past, having been in a cult,

and what I've learnt from that, and I look at some of the biggest conversations of our age.

You can pre-order this book now, and I'm going to do a book tour where I sit with

someone else. We discuss the book. You can ask questions. If you'd like, you can have a signed

copy of the book with your ticket. The tour will start on the 29th of March at the Gleague

Club Birmingham. Then I will go to Bath on the 30th of March. The first of

April I'll be in Leeds, the second of April I'll be in Glasgow, the 5th of April I'll be in Brighton,

and the 8th of April I'll be in Manchester. And I'll be at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London

on the 9th of April. If you would like to come to any of those shows or you'd like to give someone

tickets with a book for Christmas, go to guiltyfeminist.com, click on live shows and then click on

book tour and you'll be able to see all of those dates. I'd love you to come along to the book

tour. It would be wonderful to see you there and I can sign the book for you or sign others for

gifts.

So please come along and join in the discussion.

It's time to talk.

And now on with the podcast.
