The big benefits of small talk and leaving the 'manosphere'
Small talk might feel trivial, but professor in the psychology of kindness Gillian Sandstrom says these tiny exchanges can help us live a kinder, more connected life. Gillian unpacks it all in her new book Once Upon A Stranger. Leeson Timms knows the world of the 'manosphere' all too well. He was drawn in by the allure of confident blokes and an assured place in the world, only to realise the damage it was causing to others around him. British documentary maker Louis Theroux's latest project Inside the Manosphere has put this misogynistic world back in the spotlight. But does it go far enough? And what can Australia learn about curbing homelessness from looking to Finland's Housing First policy?
