What's Our Problem?

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences, Self-Help

Tim Urban, creator of the blog Wait But Why, offers "a self-help book for societies" about why American discourse has become so polarized. Using his Ladder framework, which contrasts high-rung thinking guided by reason with low-rung thinking driven by tribalism, he examines political echo chambers, illiberal movements on both left and right, and how a society can climb back up.
