Publisher's Synopsis
The tough problems in the world are made harder when we can't talk about them. When we try to address such issues, conversations often break down because they become emotionally charged, and we lose sight of our common goals. Scarred from these breakdowns with coworkers, family, and friends, we find it easier and safer to stick with people who already agree with us. Getting unstuck requires the courage to confront our own inner contradictions and then to re-engage with people in an authentic way. This book invites readers to laugh at ourselves as we take on the important work of self-reflection as we renew our conversations with others using the six steps and series of exercises provided within.
