Acerca de esta escucha

If you’re weary of political polarization, nothing is more refreshing than nuanced thinking: ideas that reveal the complexity of what’s wrong in the world and how to make it better. But where does such thinking come from? Often, it’s from someone changing their mind—letting go of an old perspective and growing into a new one. Join executive coach Amiel Handelsman as he interviews nuanced thinkers about the origin stories of their big ideas. Each story offers a window into one of humanity’s greatest challenges like climate change, democracy, the culture wars, the wealth gap, Ukraine, and Israel. In weeks between interviews, Amiel offers tips for training your mind to navigate complex topics and difficult conversations.Copyright 2025 Amiel Handelsman Ciencia Política Ciencias Sociales Desarrollo Personal Política y Gobierno Éxito Personal

  • No Kings Protest—Kudos and Disappointment
    Jun 18 2025

    This past Saturday, I attended the No Kings protest in a Midwestern college town. I walked in with a spring in my step, yet left early with a frown on my face.

    In this 5-minute episode of How My View Grew, I explain why.

    It's a good-news, bad-news tale.

  • Two Audacious Ideas for a Post-Trump America (Really)
    May 16 2025

    When right-wingers in the United States were in the wilderness for decades, they didn't just sit on their hands. They envisioned bold ways to change the country. When they came to power, they were ready to act.

    Setting aside whether you like those ideas, ask yourself this: if Republicans could do this, why can't Democrats? Are liberals and progressives incapable of imagining what they'll do when back in power? Or have they simply not yet grown this potential?

    Maybe it's time for all of us to not just play defense against the current mayhem but also to envision a better offense. If your party were to regain power, what would you want it to do?

    In this episode, I invite you to think audaciously and notice not only what you come up with, but also how this improves your mood for dealing with the current presidency and its agents of sycophancy.

    Imagine tomorrow so you have more power to act today.

    To get you started, I propose two audacious ideas for a post-Trump America.
