About this listen
When we disagree about fundamental issues, especially issues such as politics or religion, it can be incredibly difficult to maintain close interpersonal relationships. These differences have ended friendships and caused rifts in families. We need a tool to help us build more resilient relationships despite real and present differences.
In Brave Talk, communications expert Melody Stanford Martin offers just such a tool: impasse. By learning to treat every conflict as if it's an impasse and temporarily suspend our desire to resolve differences, we make space for deeper understanding and stronger ties.
Brave Talk offers hands-on skill-building in critical thinking, power sharing, and rhetoric. Combining real-life storytelling and rigorous academic sources, this book blends humor, creativity, and interactive learning to help everyday people develop better skills for navigating conflict in order to build stronger relationships and healthier communities.

some parts I had to listen to twice as so much was packed in that needed consideration. perhaps says more about me than the book that I felt the need to do so.
There's a lot of conflict in the world and before we tackle the bigger ones it is useful to resolve the smaller but significant ones at home. How can we expect to resolve Xenophobia as a nation if we aren't willing to tackle it in close relatives.
My only real criticism is that the book focuses on disputes and disagreements where we are directly involved. it would be useful to have tips on how to broker conversations where the parties fighting both third parties.
