A guide to learning how to communicate with people who have diametrically
opposed opinions from you, how to empathize with them, and how to (possibly)
change their minds America is more polarized than ever. Whether the issue is
Donald Trump, healthcare, abortion, gun control, breastfeeding, or even DC vs
Marvel, it feels like you can't voice an opinion without ruffling someone's
feathers. In today's digital age, it's easier than ever to build walls around
yourself. You fill up your Twitter feed with voices that are angry about the
same issues and believe as you believe. Before long, you're isolated in your
own personalized echo chamber. And if you ever encounter someone outside of
your bubble, you don't understand how the arguments that resonate so well with
your peers can't get through to anyone else. In a time when every conversation
quickly becomes a battlefield, it's up to us to learn how to talk to each
other again. In Talking Across the Divide, social justice activist Justin Lee
explains how to break through the five key barriers that make people resist
differing opinions. With a combination of psychological research, pop-culture
references, and anecdotes from Justin's many years of experience mediating
contentious conversations, this book will help you understand people on the
other side of the argument and give you the tools you need to change their
minds--even if they've fallen for fake news.
