A few years ago, I read an article that fundamentally changed the way I think, write, and talk about contentious issues. The star journalist who wrote it has delivered a book that’s even more illuminating. Amanda takes us around the world to understand how people learn to stop demonizing the other side and start agreeing to disagree productively. I think it should be required reading for everyone in politics and the media—and for anyone who’s had a squabble with a colleague or a blowup at a family gathering – source2022-07-02T19:25:49.000Z
@JessMattei Two books I really learned a lot from are Conversations Worth Having, by Stavros & Torres, and and High Conflict, by Amanda Ripley. – source
