Synopsis: When political debates get heated, it's difficult to look at single words, but this progressively themed release reveals the importance of language in opinionated discussions. George Lakoff, a cognitive linguistics professor and the author of DON'T THINK OF AN ELEPHANT: KNOW YOUR VALUES AND FRAME THE DEBATE, joins forces with Oscar®-winner and activist Sean Penn to discuss how left-leaning thinkers can use the power of language to best enter discussions with their right-wing counterparts.
