Inflection Point: Do Haters Deserve Our Compassion? - Sally Kohn, author of "The Opposite of Hate"

Can you find compassion in your heart for the haters in your life? 

CNN political commentator and first-time author Sally Kohn says if we keep on hating the haters, the cycle of hate will never end. She believes compassion to be one of the keys to breaking the cycle of hatred that pervades our culture in today’s divisive world. Listen in on Inflection Point host Lauren Schiller's conversation with Sally Kohn, author of "The Opposite of Hate" on what she’s learned from her own missteps as a former school bully and, paradoxically, as a well-meaning liberal, breaking the cycle of hate, and cultivating compassion for her perceived enemies.
