Summary

We talk about why it’s useful to identify and work through nagging conflicts (e.g., whether and when to make the bed, load the dishwasher, get off your phone). We also discuss a listener’s hack that makes it easier to say in touch with the people who are important to us, and law professor Kenji Yoshino explains how to “Say the Right Thing” in challenging situations.
