Our book club chose to read a memoir by someone whose father was executed and the discussion last week got really heated when some members started defending the death penalty and others got upset that we were debating the author's trauma. Now half the group wants to skip the next meeting and I don't know how to bring everyone back together to finish discussing the book.
More people experience this than they realize.
Intellectual exploration becomes personal confrontation when abstract debate meets lived experience.
“Where Are You with The death penalty — all perspectives?”
Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
