Never lose your activism and advocacy. Raging at the establishment about things that are downright horrible, disgusting and dangerous is no different from you trying to understand the killer and the killed. You are simply a seriously committed and curious human being who cares deeply about people and the things that matter. Don’t let anyone put you “in a box” (even Barbie left the box) or define who you are or who you should be, you are everything! You rage and you love! Keep living a full worthy life. It’s never either or it’s and/and.
You spoke up when not many were and at that time those of us wondering if we were insane realized we weren’t. So thank you for that. I appreciate the lapse in your usual journalistic style. It helped me. I have come back around to a less me vs. them because we all have common needs and I want to focus on those. For me the focus is at the top, not with the people. I am looking forward to reading your new book.
I was moved by this conversation. I have often used (for myself) the visual of the "claw" vs the "fist"... by opening the fist and separating your fingers just a bit you let the air in... the curiosity in -- and you remove the hard force prepared for defensive violence. Thank you for letting us into your journey.
I watched the podcast and it was so intimately presented, I have purchased both books. Thanks so much. You are an amazing couple and I love your perspectives in journalism and life.
Wonderful to hear this part of your journey. Congratulations on making that return to who you truly are! To your true gift expressing you true authentic self in your writing. I love it! Thank you! Can you guess I’m one who’s endlessly curious and loves intellectual conversation for a few minutes. But then if you’re willing I’ll take your hand, make a sharp turn, and with new questions we’ll dive into the depth and granularity as you call it! That’s the juicy stuff and it’s from joining in this flowing fun mutual inquiring into that depth that clarity and insights and answers … and solutions arise! For every aspect. For everyone. For all! Such fun! CoCreating Clarity ✨🕸️✨🕸️✨ with love to all, Christina 🌺
PS: in my experience the root cause in just about any problem is the moment to moment choices being made. And the root cause of a destructive choice being made is almost always the absence, avoidance, or breakdown of authentic connection and communication between human beings.💜
You have once again taken me to the safety of reflection. A couple of days ago, I had just mentioned my favorite quote to someone. At a NY Town Hall in 1973 Jiddu Krishnamurti said, “Corruption begins in lack of relationship.” It struck me listening to you in this clip that it’s one of the things I love so much about your early books. I wrote in my first post on Substack about that ability you have, to see people. I also love your writing. As a great novel reroutes the neural pathways of the brain, so it was with “India Calling” and “The True American.” Thank you, Anand, for your big heart, and brain, and your lyricism.
Here’s the link where I wrote about you and some others who saved my life when the depression of the climate crisis was taking me down. It’s called, “Tweeting The Pope.”

What a beautiful thing to say. 😥
I went to the local bookstore yesterday to order my copy of your book. I am excited to read it!
