    Play It Forward Episode 639 Carlos Whittaker Releases The Book Reconnected
    Sep 30 2024
    Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 639 with Carlos Whittaker the author of the book Reconnected. In a world dominated by screens and technology, Carlos Whittaker takes readers on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and reconnection. The book chronicles his seven-week experience of unplugging from the digital noise, completely screen free. Over the course of the seven weeks, Carlos spent time with 20 Benedictine monks in the high desert of Southern California in 23 hours a day of silence, lived on an Amish sheep farm, working the land, and sheering sheep, and learned how to exist with his family and truly connect with them completely unplugged. On top of that, he even had his brain scanned by a neuroscientist before and after the experiment to see what changed - and the results were quite staggering. Not many people have the opportunity to spend weeks entirely devoid of phone and computer screens, but Carlos' radical, screen-free experiment yields hope and wisdom to everyone who has felt the loneliness, low-key despair, and paradoxical disconnectedness that accompanies the always-on, always-plugged-in nature of modern life. Now bringing his message to the masses, he's eager to share some of the lessons he learned along the way.

    Play It Foward Episode 638 Racial Justice Educator Christine Saxman The Book Being White Today
    Sep 15 2024
    Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 638 with racial justice educator and author Christine Saxman. The idea that White people are under attack has permeated political discourse in recent elections. The election of 2024 will be no different. Being White Today: A Roadmap for a Positive Antiracist Life helps White people navigate the myriad messages they encounter about race. The book applies the White racial identity framework developed by psychologist Dr. Janet Helms to take a strong stance against racism. Using fictionalized scenarios and case studies, it offers a way to resist extremist messaging and recruitment. A helpful resource for White people who care about US society, in particular, White parents, educators, activists, and racial/social justice practitioners, this book also helps people understand antiracist messaging and how to use it strategically to create a larger community of White antiracists. The last decade witnessed two significant trends: (1) White nationalists successfully instilled weaponized messages related to White identity throughout conservative politics. (2) The movement for Black lives called on White people to grapple with their racial position and support racial justice efforts. While the far-right’s manipulative messaging is provocative and easy to grasp, antiracist messaging is complex and nuanced, which allows for significant misunderstanding. The competing narratives result in many White people disengaging entirely from issues of race and racial justice. Given that White identity is top-of-mind for politicians and activists across the political spectrum leading toward the 2024 election, it is essential that White people understand how White racial identity functions and react usefully. Being White Today connects the dots between far-right messaging, antiracism’s demands, and the role White racial identity plays in today’s politics and people’s lives. Tochluk and Saxman wrote Being White Today to help White people become resilient in the face of far-right manipulation. With empathy, nuance, and skill, the book achieves this by providing people with a positive vision for how to communicate effectively with White friends, family, and co-workers about race.
