Brittney-Nicole's show coincides with the publication of a book she's written on the topic of emotional intelligence, The EQ Deficiency. Topics discussed:&amp;nbsp;  How Brittney-Nichole came to be familiar with my work Definitions of tribalism and tribal psychology The evolutionary roots of tribal psychology; positive and negative aspects of tribalism Definition of polarization, and the effects of increasing polarization Why certain kinds of truth-seeking communication can only happen in the interstitial spaces between ideologically charged tribal zones Why &quot;complexity is unstable&quot; within polarized groups Strategies for improving our emotional intelligence by learning more about, and embracing, our tribal psychology Why &quot;character is contextual&quot;, and how we can take advantage of this fact for personal growth Mental models for understanding human nature and social change, and cultivating emotional intelligence  Show notes:  https:\/\/kevindelaplante.com\/038-tribal-literacy-and-emotional-intelligence\/ Video interview on Brittney-Nichole's channel: https:\/\/youtu.be\/BMPPPw7zeVU &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The Argument Ninja Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/kevindelaplante.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/16630229\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/2e2e2e\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/16630229"}
