Oft sind Burnout und Depression die Folge dieser Angepasstheit.

Why do facts fail to change people’s minds?

As a progressive commentator on Fox News and now CNN, Sally Kohn has made a career out of bridging intractable political differences, learning how to talk civilly to people whose views she disagrees with passionately.
