In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a
civil conversation with someone who has a different opinion.
Dialogue is shut down when perspectives clash. Heated debates on
Facebook and Twitter often lead to shaming, hindering any
possibility of productive discourse. How to Have Impossible
Conversations guides readers through the process of having
effective, civil discussions about any divisive issues--not just
religious faith but climate change, race, gender, poverty,
immigration, and gun control. Coauthors Peter Boghossian and James
Lindsay distinguish between two types of conversations: those that
are oriented toward arriving at truth, and those that may require
changing the beliefs of people who do not want their beliefs
changed (interventions). They then guide readers through the
straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for
every successful conversation, up to expert- and master-level
techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. With key
principles like the "Seven Fundamentals Necessary for Good
Conversations," this book is the manual everyone needs to foster
connection and empathy with anyone.
