One on One with Frank Bruni

Grievance and how to talk across differences. This special episode of The Bulletin features an interview with New York Times columnist Frank Bruni about his book, The Age of Grievance. Where polarization has split churches, families and friendships, Bruni suggests that the root of this polarization is grievance, an animating impulse in our culture that focuses on scarcity instead of abundance. This conversation offers a way forward for Americans or anyone who looks at culture and wants something better.
