Poles Apart
Laura Osborne, Alex Chesterfield, and Alison Goldsworthy's book on the psychology behind political and social polarization — why humans form groups, why belonging to one changes how we think and act, why facts rarely change minds, and what evidence-backed tactics actually help opposing groups find common ground. The transcript repeatedly renders the title as "Polls Apart"; the book's actual title, confirmed via show notes, is Poles Apart.
