Podcasts about political tribes group instinct

In our previous episode we introduced Rich Hanson, Drew Westen and Amy Chua, experts in political anxiety and we'll call on them again in this episode. We'll examine what they have to say about emotional recovery to help us after this presidential election.   Topics Covered: Post-Election Emotional Recovery Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: "taking in the good" focus Understanding Emotional Aftershocks Overcoming Tribalistic Divides Practical Self-Care Tips Reflection on National Resilience   Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:   1.   Drawing on Rick Hanson's guidance, we can use mindfulness practices like "taking in the good" to counter negative emotions and cultivate resilience. Emphasizing moments of positivity can help us stay grounded and manage post-election stress.   2.   Drew Westen highlights that election-induced emotions don't simply fade but can linger as "emotional aftershocks." These residual feelings of anger, fear, or disappointment may affect relationships and public discourse, so it's important to be aware of these lingering tensions as people process the election's outcome.   3.   According to Amy Chua, overcoming tribal divides involves recognizing diverse identities, fostering empathy, and working on shared community goals. This can be accomplished through local actions and open dialogue, allowing individuals to see each other as allies rather than adversaries, despite differing views.   Mentioned in the Episode:   Chris Davis:   Freedom from Suffering about the Election   Rick Hanson: https://www.amazon.com/   Let Be, Let Go, Let In 15-Minute Guided Meditation   https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/anxious-about-election/   https://rickhanson.com/dos-and-donts-of-virtuous-conduct/   https://rickhanson.com/topics-for-personal-growth/navigating-political-turmoil/   https://rickhanson.com/how-to-promote-healthy-human-politics/   Amy Chua, Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations https://www.amazon.com/     Drew Weston, The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation https://www.amazon.com/     How to reach Yo Canny:    Our Store: www.girltaketheleadpod.com/store    Our Website: www.girltaketheleadpod.com  You can send a message or voicemail there.

In many of our past episodes we've uncovered aspects of emotions that can come up when we're stressed plus this month we're looking into the topic of conflict so today's episode goes into both these areas by looking at the political anxiety many of us may be experiencing around the upcoming Presidential election. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum we seem to all experiencing the same sensation of fear resulting from the polarization we're feeling. We thought it might be helpful to take a deeper look at this by exploring the what and the why when it comes to feeling this way, particularly as election day approaches. We'll call on 3 experts to guide us: Rick Hanson, Amy Chua, and Drew Westen Ph.D. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a neuropsychologist and New York Times best-selling author. His books include Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha's Brain, Just One Thing, Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness. He'll help us learn more about mindfulness and emotional regulation.   And Amy Chua is author of the Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations. She is a noted expert in the fields of ethnic conflict and globalization and will help us learn about tribalism and identity politics.   Drew Westen, author The Political Brain, The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation, is a clinical, personality, and political psychologist and neuroscientist. He will help us see how emotions, particularly fear and anger influence politics.   This will be a 2 part series. This is the episode covering the pre-election and the other will be post-election.   Topics Covered: Political Anxiety Defined Rick Hanson's Concept of “Paper Tiger Paranoia” Virtuous Conduct Tribalism and Identity Politics (Amy Chua) Emotions in Politics (Drew Westen) Statistics on the 2024 Election Campaign (Pew Research Center) Mindfulness, Empathy, and Connection   Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:   1.     Political anxiety, driven by high-stakes issues like abortion and climate change, is often intensified by our brain's tendency to overestimate threats, known as "paper tiger paranoia." Mindfulness can help manage these fears by grounding us in reality and reducing the sense of being overwhelmed. 2.     Tribalism, as described by Amy Chua, worsens political anxiety by creating an "us vs. them" mentality. While polarization grows, she remains optimistic that local, community-driven efforts can bridge divides and foster empathy. 3.     Emotions in politics play a major role in voter decision-making, with campaigns often exploiting fear and anger. Drew Westen highlights that positive emotions, like hope and authenticity, can inspire greater political engagement and help alleviate political anxiety.   Mentioned in the Episode:   Rick Hanson: https://www.amazon.com/   Let Be, Let Go, Let In 15-Minute Guided Meditation   https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/anxious-about-election/   https://rickhanson.com/dos-and-donts-of-virtuous-conduct/   https://rickhanson.com/topics-for-personal-growth/navigating-political-turmoil/   https://rickhanson.com/how-to-promote-healthy-human-politics/   Amy Chua, Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations https://www.amazon.com/   Drew Weston, The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation https://www.amazon.com/   https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/10/10/voters-feelings-about-the-2024-campaign-and-election-outcomes-concerns-about-political-violence/   Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/peace-wild-things-0/ How to reach Yo Canny:    Our Store: www.girltaketheleadpod.com/store    Our Website: www.girltaketheleadpod.com  You can send a message or voicemail there.

Michael invites lawyer and writer Amy Chua to join him in a conversation about Chua's thought-provoking book "Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations." Original air date 23 February 2018. The book was published on 20 February 2018.

Sarah Sun (Miss Utah 2023) joins Utah's First Lady, Abby Cox, to talk about her experience growing up as a Chinese-American in Cedar City, UT, Utah’s first monument honoring Chinese railroad workers that’s set to be displayed on the southeast lawn of the state capitol, and how her mother’s desire to be more fluent in English helped inspire Sarah to be passionate about her education. Then we dive into Amy Chua’s book, ‘Political Tribes’, the correlations between various disciplinary parenting styles and how they develop positive habits in children, as well as how Sarah’s parent's support for her passions helped lay the groundwork for her to become Miss Utah. Lastly, Sarah opens up about using her platform as Miss Utah to advocate for better education and programming in prisons, the impact that different cultural evolutions have had on modesty, and why we need more women in leadership.

More than a decade after she was labeled as “Tiger Mom” for her 2011 memoir “The Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother,” Amy Chua reflects on her strict parenting style as she traces the roots of her culture to Fuzhou, China. Why did Amy feel right about raising her daughters the same way she was raised by her immigrant parents? What lessons has she learned from her critics in the West? What prompted her to pursue a career in corporate law before teaching law at Yale? And now, what motivated her to write  her first novel “The Golden Gate?” Amy Chua is a Yale law school professor with expertise in international business transactions, ethnicity and conflict, and globalization. She is an author of five non-fiction titles including Political Tribes: Group Instinct and Fate of Nation, and The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America.   Photo Credit: Joel Griffith   Music used: I Will Not Let You Let Me Down by Josh Woodward Your Mothers Daughter by Chris Zabriskie On The Clock by Pictures of the Floating World Tumbling Dishes Like Old-Mans Wishes by Jahzzar One in a Billion Theme Song by Brad McCarthy

In this episode of the Bill Walton Show, my conversation is with Amy Chua,  a provocative and original thinker about culture, world politics, and political tribes. Our main topic is her latest book, The Golden Gate, is a novel set in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1930s and 1940s.   Best known for her Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, a memoir about her parenting journey using strict Confucianist child rearing techniques, she is a highly accomplished professor at Yale Law School, and has been named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, The Atlantic's “Brave Thinkers” and Foreign Policy's “Global Thinkers.” The Golden Gate is compelling historical thriller that paints a portrait of a California from another era beset by the crosswinds of a world at war and an American society about to undergo massive changes in how race and class define the essence of power, sex, and justice. It's also filled with fascinating details, like groundbreaking forensic advances, the story of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and the presence of China's Madame Chiang Kai-shek in Berkeley in the 1940's Amy brings to this book - and our conversation - her depth of understanding about class structures, culture and ethnic divisions seen in her non-fiction writings.  Her first book, World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, explored the ethnic conflict caused in many societies by "market dominant minorities.” In her Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance - and Why They Fall examined seven major empires and the theory that their success depended on their tolerance of minorities. Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations, examined how group loyalty often outweighs any other ideological considerations and argues that the failure to recognize the place of group loyalty has played a major role in the failure of US foreign policy. The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America was called by the Financial Times' Lucy Kellaway, “the best universal theory of success I've seen." This is a wide ranging and fun conversation. Highly enjoyable. Listen in. 

In this episode, I explore the work and ideas of Amy Chua.Amy is not only a tenured Professor of Law at Yale University, she is also a bestselling author of several books. Her most famous books was published in 2011 and is called "The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother."Amy told me that she was a huge fan of Thomas Sowell but what I didn't know at the time is that Thomas Sowell is also a huge fan of Amy Chua. Find out why in this episode, as I explore Amy's ideas about political tribalism and why some groups succeed more than others, a theme which is right up Sowell Alley.Amy just wrote her first novel called "The Golden Gate," which I highly recommend you read.

The Purple Principle celebrates July 4th with its first episode in a miniseries on America's great independent voices. Amy Chua, known for her bestselling Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, is a Yale law professor and author of Political Tribes. “Every group feels attacked, pitted against other groups not just for jobs and spoils, but for the right to define the nation's identity. In these conditions, democracy devolves into zero-sum group competition. Pure political tribalism.”  In a conversation with TPP host Rob Pease, Chua talks about the challenges of speaking to a fragmented student body. She also discusses the degradation of our shared national identity as marginalized groups increasingly denigrate traditional American ideals. These and related topics explored on this special July 4th episode. Enjoy the show, and don't forget to rate & review us at: ratethispodcast.com/purple How'd you hear about The Purple Principle?

We take a look at Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations by Amy Chua.

"In our foreign policy, for at least half a century, we have been spectacularly blind to the power of tribal politics," says Amy Chua, author of "Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations." What does this mean in 2019? How can Americans move past tribalism? Don't miss this conversation with Chua and Bard College's Walter Russell Mead, moderated by Bard's Roger Berkowitz.

There seems to be a lot of talk about this idea of political tribalism lately. Critiques that groups are increasingly insular not just around politics but about race or religion or any number of identity markers, and that this isolation makes it impossible to have meaningful conversations about the big issues facing our country. We’ve witnessed groups rallying around their side in ways that can be ugly, discounting the thoughts of the ‘Other’ on the mere status of being other, but is that true of all of political tribalism? Is it a dangerous group in-thinking or can it look like positive, meaningful group organizing? Chris Hayes is torn about the ambiguous use of political tribalism as a critique of certain types of politics, so he brought in Amy Chua to work them out. Amy Chua has been studying prejudice for 20 years and has a new book out called “Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations”. In this episode, Chris Hayes and Amy Chua wrestle over these questions and discuss whether political tribalism is even inherently a bad thing to begin with.

This week, we wanted to do a show aimed at graduating students — which is why we booked The WSJ's Andy Kessler to discuss his column Advice to New Grads: Scale or Bail and Amy “Tiger Mom” Chua (yes, her new book Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations isn't strictly for grads, but hey, she's the TIGER MOM).
