Title: How to Have Impossible Conversations Pdf A Very Practical Guide
"This is a self-help book on how to argue effectively, conciliate, and gently persuade. The authors admit to getting it wrong in their own past conversations. One by one, I recognize the same mistakes in me. The world would be a better place if everyone read this book." (Richard Dawkins, author of Science in the Soul and Outgrowing God)
In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you're online, in a classroom, an office, 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, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay guide you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation - whether the issue is climate change, religious faith, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration, or gun control. Boghossian and Lindsay teach the subtle art of instilling doubts and opening minds. They cover everything from learning the fundamentals for good conversations to achieving expert-level techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. This book is the manual everyone needs to foster a climate of civility, connection, and empathy.
A self-help guide as much as a book about conversations a new book from half the team behind the Sokal Squared AffairThis book is really excellent — readable, interesting, immediately applicable, energizing, empowering, and hopeful. It is so good that after reading it, I, a sane/non-SJW liberal on a very leftist campus, am 90% less anxious about conversations that may occur this semester. I have used it to good effect once already in a conversation about why I read very conservative news sources in addition to more mainstream ones. My interlocutor was accusing me of ill motives and hidden agendas. By staying calm and being willing to stop my practice if they had a good argument, the conversation went well and a classmate (who had previously been horrified by seeing the Daily Caller on my screen) was promoted to “potential friend.”The book is great. You should buy it, read it, and apply it.
