About this episode
Writers and couple Priya Parker and Anand Giridharadas join Monica this week on Reclaiming for an energized conversation about intentional gathering, healthy conflict, and building a shared intellectual life within their marriage. Priya explains how her new book, The Art of Fighting, explores the ways disagreement can deepen—rather than destroy—our sense of belonging. Anand discusses Man in the Mirror, his book that examines the fatal subway encounter between Jordan Neely and Daniel Penny, and what it reveals about safety, care, and institutional failure in a divided country. Together, they reflect on how their ideas challenge and sharpen each other, how they sustain two ambitious careers while raising a family, and how to distinguish a fight that creates change from one that merely causes harm. Moving through humor and honesty they consider what we owe the people—and the communities—to which we still hope to belong.
