About
The author is on a mission to instruct citizens on how to effectively engage in constructive and respectful discussions-even amidst deep disagreement
Politics. Religion. Identity. Current Events.
The above issues have cost us relationships with family, friends, and coworkers.
We would rather split apart than engage in a challenging conversation.
It doesn't have to be this way!
In his thought-provoking, prescriptive work Conversations That Matter, educator Billy Planer shows how to:
•Initiate conversation with someone whose views are diametrically opposed to yours
•Present your point of view without conveying a negative or condescending attitude or tone
•Ask probing questions without offending the other person
•Maintain your composure during an uncomfortable conversation
•Distinguish fact from fiction and bias in the news
•Prevent political news from upsetting and distracting you
•Respond if you are attacked for expressing an opinion
•Handle social media and the onslaught of extreme perspectives
•Continue the dialogue after an uncomfortable conversation
Americans are not as divided as we think. We just need to properly engage in the conversations.
