Can widespread social change only take place when a generation dies out? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by curiosity and underpinned by diligent research, \u003ci\u003eHow Minds Change\u003c\/i\u003e is an expansive, big-hearted journalistic narrative for our divided times, told with David McRaney's trademark humor, compassion, and scientific inquiry.
