I Used to Like You Until...: (How Binary Thinking Divides Us)

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A “whip-smart” (USA TODAY) exploration of the dangers of binary thinking and how it threatens to take over our institutions, relationships, and freedoms—alongside hilarious and illustrative personal stories from New York Times bestselling author Kat Timpf.

We’ve become a society of non-thinkers. After all, we’ve largely limited ourselves to just two options when it comes to complex issues. As an independent, libertarian voter who has spent the last ten years at Fox News, Kat has faced this phenomenon too many times to count. She’s learned that surprising things can happen when you refuse to choose a team, especially when you work at a place some people call an existential threat to America. Binary thinking is much more than just the enemy of critical thinking, it’s also an immediate danger to our political discourse, our institutions, our way of consuming news, our relationships, our creativity, and even to our freedoms. All too often, we will let a single difference in viewpoint, an assumption, or an association be enough to write off another person entirely. We miss out on opportunities to connect and collaborate, all while the people in power benefit from our division. Through humorous examples from her own life and insight only someone in her bizarre position can possess, Kat reminds us that the world doesn’t have to be so black and white. In her signature witty voice, Kat inspires us to lean into thoughtful consideration, genuine conversation, vulnerability, and only hating people when they really deserve it.
