Description
In Why Are We Yelling? (2019) Buster Benson destigmatizes disagreement. Arguments aren’t bad, says Benson, unless they’re unproductive. What’s more, learning to disagree well can help you strengthen your personal relationships, perform better professionally, and broaden your perspective on the world.
