SUMMARY:Beyond the Politics of Contempt
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCome to Howe Library for an evening of thought-provoking 
 conversation with Beth Malow and Doug Teschner\, authors of Beyond the 
 Politics of Contempt: Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in 
 Divided Times. Website is beyondthepoliticsofcontempt.com and Substack 
 newsletter is togethernow.substack.com\n\nThey believe that amid a climate 
 of widespread contempt and even hatred for people who disagree 
 politically\, we can each make important contributions to better our 
 lives\, our relationships\, and our country. The book 
 includes:\n\n\n	skills for greater self-awareness of how our reactions 
 impact our health and well-being.\n	ways to mend relationships torn apart 
 by politics and empower people when difficult conversations arise.\n	Steps 
 to integrate political activism and bridge building.\n	actions to rebuild a 
 national culture of kindness\, dignity\, and respect.\n\n\nThey aim to find 
 a way to turn the politics of fear and contempt into the politics of 
 hope.\n\nBeth Malow is a neurologist and science/health communicator 
 working in public health and climate change\, and has given a TEDx talk\, 
 The Art of Communicating Science. She lives in Quechee\, VT\, and moderates 
 workshops and debates for Braver Angels\, the bipartisan non-profit 
 grassroots organization focused on uniting Americans in our divided time. 
 She’s appeared on NPR 1A and the PBS Newshour.\n\nDoug Teschner ran the 
 Peace Corps in Ukraine and led a community education effort to end the 
 Ebola epidemic in Guinea. As Braver Angels New England Regional Leader\, he 
 led the effort that led to the creation of a bipartisan caucus in the NH 
 House of Representatives\, where he previously served as a GOP legislator. 
 Doug lives in West Lebanon\, NH.\n\n\n\nThis event is hybrid. If you would 
 like to attend via Zoom\, register here.\n\nJoin Meeting:
