Americans aren't getting along so well in these so-called United States. Why do we see the world so differently? How on earth can we find common ground?Tired and dangerously divided, we urgently need to skillfully approach each other without contempt and have civil conversations over dinner, on the street, and in Washington. This toolkit is stuffed with crucial field-tested techniques for disagreeing without being disagreeable, mending fences, and influencing change. And, if you need to cope and find hope during these unprecedented times, this survival manual tells how.The emergency kit starts with a description of the spot we're in - our biases, the genuine differences between conservatives and liberals, and the impact of our UNcivil war. The focus is on practical, immediate steps for changing both ourselves and the situation - for lowering defensiveness, repairing relationships, handling conflict, and managing stress. You’ll find specific words, phrases, and skills to help people debate and discuss political views, bridge the divide, and simply work and live together better.Readers of every political persuasion will benefit from useful tips and answers to “How can Americans be so far apart?!” and “What do we have in common?” There is guidance for how to influence and overcome resistance to change during our health/economic/racial/civil crisis.
