Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory - Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit téměř s každým – Boghossian Peter (2021)

In today’s political climate, having a reasonable conversation with someone who holds a different opinion can seem impossible. Whether you are expressing your views on social media, talking with classmates at school or colleagues at work, or simply hoping to survive a family dinner with a stubborn relative, dialogue can end as soon as your opinions collide. Heated debates often lead to insults and recriminations, both of which block any possibility of productive discussion. It can seem as though everyone now enters a conversation with a finger permanently poised on the trigger. In this book, authors Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay introduce readers to direct, practical conversational techniques needed to discuss controversial topics such as climate change, religious beliefs, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration and gun control. They explain how to create doubt in the other person’s thinking during a dialogue and then open their mind to new possibilities. The authors guide readers through different levels of conversation, from the basics of conducting a constructive dialogue to expert techniques for discussions with people holding extremist views. This useful manual is for anyone who wants to learn how to have a polite conversation and make their discussions with others more understanding and empathetic.
