Disagreements happen everywhere to everyone – in workplaces, in families, and with our countrymates. And these days, the levels of anger and vitriol seem to be skyrocketing. As a result, many of us are either in a constant state of conflict or assiduously avoiding voicing any opinion that might spark debate. Yet, according to Julia Minson, PhD, a psychologist and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, disagreeing is both inevitable and essential for everything from navigating decisions at home to running innovative and agile companies to governing democratic societies. Through the years, social scientists have often offered well-meaning but unproven (and not very useful) advice on handling conflict, according to Minson. In HOW TO DISAGREE BETTER, she offers evidence-based insights, based on decades of scientific research to help readers understand why we disagree, and how we can do it constructively and without rancor. Julia was a guest with Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to talk about the new book.
