Dr. Melanie Joy is an Harvard-educated psychologist, author, relationship coach, and the founding president of the NGO Beyond Carnism. Through her work, Melanie illustrates that oftentimes it is our lack of relational literacy that is the root cause for the struggles we face with ourselves, within partnerships and as a society. Philipp and Tjorven seek advice for their own struggles and try to understand how to become more compassionate beings. Moreover, Melanie tells us why being able to create positive change is a privilege and what makes her hopeful for the future.
