Kristen Bell discussed the core message of her book, 'The World Needs More Purple People', which promotes unity and respect for different opinions using five pillars of behaviour.

Today I'm excited to talk with Kristen about her new book, The World Needs More Purple People and what it means to be a healthy relationship, a great parent, and why the world needs more of all of this incredible energy.

So two years ago, we were sitting around the kitchen table, our kids were running around together and we were, I'm sure talking politics and we're a group that believes the same things and we still sounded like we were fighting, right?

We sounded like there was divisiveness and it occurred to, Ben is a highly emotional creature as well and it occurred to us that our kids are actually getting two signals right now or getting one signal, it's us and them. It's blue or red.

Every time we turn on the television, there's who's blue, who's red and we just thought subconsciously that must not be good for them and you can't really sit down and say, well, it's because the country is fighting and some people believe this and some people believe that and you need to vote and sometimes the blue side is right and sometimes the red side is right.

Purple people ask really great questions. Purple people laugh a lot. Purple people use their voice. They don't lose their voice. They are really, really hard workers. And the final pillar in being purple is you have to be uniquely you because you're the only you we've got.
