Hey friends, here you can sign-up for our forthcoming Sophia Reading Group on Brit Barron’s Do You Still Talk to Grandma? When the Problematic People in our Lives Are the Ones We Love.

How do we hold on to our deepest convictions without losing relationships with the people we love?

In this new book, Barron illuminates the challenges and hope for these relationships, showing that the best research points toward humility, self-awareness, an openness to learning, and remembering that others can learn too.

She understands that those people who hurt us with their bigotry and ignorance . . . they’re often the people we love: They’re our friends, our parents, our grandparents, and even our religious leaders. Barron shows that the way forward is to create a gracious and risky space for people to learn and evolve. We need to form the sorts of relationships where we can tell difficult truths, set boundaries, forgive, and share stories of our own failings. And this starts with examining ourselves.

Provocative, charming, and vulnerable, Do You Still Talk to Grandma? is an essential read for anyone struggling to live compassionately without giving up on conviction.

The reading group discussions will run in live backyard discussion groups of 5 or more at a coordinated time of your choosing with pre-recorded video introductions for conversation.
