Ten questions to spur conversation this Thanksgiving, written by seven-time New York Times best-selling author and Remento advisor Bruce Feiler.
Thanksgiving is the unequivocal holiday of full houses, great food, and quality time with those we love. And yet, how often do the conversations that fill our time together make it past surface-level small talk, gossip, or worst of all: politics? Particularly after years plagued by so many missed gatherings, isnât it about time we made our time together a bit more special?
Thatâs why we've teamed up with seven-time New York Times best-selling author and Remento advisor Bruce Feiler to develop 10 family-friendly questions guaranteed to get everyone sharing stories at your Thanksgiving gathering this year. Use them before, during, or after the big meal to see those around you in a new light. After all, reminiscing about the past is scientifically proven to make us happier, plus has some serious developmental benefits for kids.
