1. Why Are We Yelling?
The Art of Productive Disagreement
A practical guide to turning heated disagreements into productive conversations by replacing win/lose debates with curiosity, clarity, and empathy. It explains why conflicts feel so intense—biases, hidden fears, and mismatched frames—and offers simple tools to surface assumptions, ask better questions, and separate people from problems. Using everyday examples at work and home, it shows how to navigate ambiguity, find shared values, and design discussions that lead to learning and better decisions.
