Summary of Mónica Guzmán's I Never Thought of It That Way

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 There are three patterns that affect how we relate to each other: who we like to be around, who we don’t like to be around, and what we say and hear. We tend to push off against people who are opposed to us, and we sink into our groups and stories where it’s harder to hear anything else.

#2 It's way easier to get along with people who are similar to you. When you meet someone new, your brain makes a million silent assumptions based on how that person looks and moves. You start with a baseline of commonality, something you know you have in common because you're both present now: How do you know the host.

#3 Sorting is what happens when we are around people who share our interests. We go near people who are like us because we feel and know that we appreciate each other’s company.

#4 When so many of the things that matter to us line up with our politics, it changes how we feel about politics. It makes politics much more personal.
