How to argue better and resolve conflicts without being miserable with Buster Benson
Arguing can be frustrating ... but it doesn't have to be! Luckily, there's a better way to argue. If you're wondering how to win an argument, I invite you to change the way you think. Don't ask yourself, "How do I win?" Ask yourself, "How do WE win?" Productive disagreement is a handy tool in your conflict resolution toolkit. Use it. No—REALLY use it, because the best arguments are where both people end up winners (or at least, the other person doesn't feel like they've totally failed at putting their socks on). In this video, I invited argument expert Buster Benson @busterbenson7413 . He's the author of the book, "Why Are We Yelling?: The Art of Productive Disagreement" and a master at having good arguments. Check out this video to learn more, and buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P1MH869/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 or visit Buster's website here: https://busterbenson.com/Cognitive Bias Cheat Sheet: https://betterhumans.pub/cognitive-bias-cheat-sheet-55a472476b18Website: https://notes.busterbenson.com/0:00 - Intro/Sneak Preview2:23 - Can you remember your first disagreement?4:43 - Why arguments are NOT bad and how you can benefit from them6:31 - Why avoiding arguments can be a huge mistake8:32 - How to make your arguments better10:40 - How to prepare when meeting disagreeable people15:50 - The one question you must ask to understand people better16:29 - What is a big misconception about arguments?17:52 - How to truly win any argument19:12 - What is the #1 biggest mistake people make when arguing?******Hi, I’m Vanessa!You deserve more.
