About this episode
The episode discusses how conflict can be transformative and beneficial for relationships, featuring insights from Priya Parker and Kim Polinder.
Conflict gets a bad rap—but avoiding it can leave relationships shallow, tense, and stuck. In The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict, Priya Parker reveals how healthy disagreement can strengthen groups, friendships, and communities. Then, in Why We Fight: A Transformative Road Map to Healing Conflict in Any Relationship, Kim Polinder explains how old wounds and nervous-system alarms can hijack our most intimate arguments. Together, they offer a smarter way to choose the fights that matter, stay connected when things get heated, and turn conflict from a threat into an opportunity. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
