PRAISE FOR I THINK YOU’RE WRONG (BUT I’M LISTENING)
“Sarah and Beth are an absolute gift to our culture right now. If you are weary of the political fury, division, and gridlock, this book will lay pavement for a better way. Not only do they offer balanced perspectives from each political ideology, but they teach us how to dialogue well, without sacrificing our humanity. I wish every citizen of the United States would read this book.”
Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Legacy Collective
“Every human has at least two superpowers. The first is the power to listen, and the second is the ability to extend grace. The problem is, many of us never find ways to access these, especially when it comes to our political positions. Now, with the release of this timely book, Sarah from the left and Beth from the right serve as our guides through conflict and complexity, delivering us into connection. I wish every person living in the United States would read this compelling book, from the youngest voter to those holding the highest office.”
Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Simply Tuesday and The Next Right Thing
“The frequency with which I quote either Beth or Sarah tells me how much they’ve influenced how I think about politics and how to engage in politics with civility and heart. This guide for how to engage in potentially-charged conversations as an informed citizen—no matter how busy you are, no matter your stage in life—is the grace-filled handbook our culture needs right now. I’m so grateful for their wisdom and friendship.”
Tsh Oxenreider, author of At Home in the World
“For those overwhelmed and exhausted by the current, toxic state of political discourse in America, you’re right—there is a better way. Drawing from years of on-the-ground experience, Sarah and Beth unpack what’s gone wrong and outline how we can begin to fix it, both in our hearts and in our communities. Their practical guide is full of exactly what long-time fans have come to expect, and new readers will quickly come to appreciate: no shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.”
Anne Bogel, creator of Modern Mrs. Darcy, host of the What Should I Read Next? podcast, and author of Reading People and I’d Rather Be Reading
“Civic life suffers when everyone is shouting. In this gentle but persistent book, Sarah and Beth nudge readers to listen from a place of curiosity, rather than judgement, to approach differences with a focus on grace, rather than ‘gotcha’ moments. Highly recommended to anyone hungry for nuance.”
Laura Vanderkam, author of Off the Clock and Juliet’s School of Possibilities
“As a long-time listener of Sarah and Beth’s podcast, one of the things I loved about reading I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) is that I know, without a doubt, that they are truly trying to live and put into practice the principles they’ve outlined throughout the pages of the book. I love the emphasis on a nuanced approach to political conversations—coming not from party-centered divisiveness but from a place of wholehearted connection. At its core, this is a book about how to be a better human.”
