How to Have Impossible Conversations

In today's political climate, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you're online, in a classroom, in an office, at a town hall -- or just hoping to get through a family dinner with a stubborn relative -- dialogue shuts down when perspectives clash. Heated debates often lead to insults and shaming, blocking any possibility of productive discourse. Everyone seems to be on a hair-trigger. In How to Have Impossible Conversations, authors Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay guide you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation.
