TALKING ACROSS THE DIVIDE - JUSTIN LEE KARTONIE...

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.
