Now, finally, there's a solution: a new framework that frees you from the trap of unproductive conflict and pointless arguing forever.
If the threat of raised voices, emotional outbursts, and public discord makes you want to hide under the conference room table, you're not alone. Conflict, or the fear of it, can be exhausting. But as this powerful book argues, conflict doesn't have to be unpleasant. In fact, properly channeled, conflict can be the most valuable tool we have at our disposal for deepening relationships, solving problems, and coming up with new ideas.
As the mastermind behind some of the highest-performing teams at Amazon, Twitter, and Slack, Buster Benson spent decades facilitating hard conversations in stressful environments. In this book, Buster reveals the psychological underpinnings of awkward, unproductive conflict and the critical habits anyone can learn to avoid it. Armed with a deeper understanding of how arguments, you'll be able to:
• Remain confident when you're put on the spot
• Diffuse tense moments with a few strategic questions
• Facilitate creative solutions even when your team has radically different perspectives
Why Are We Yelling will shatter your assumptions about what makes arguments productive. You'll find yourself having fewer repetitive, predictable fights once you're empowered to identify your biases, listen with an open mind, and communicate well.
Love it!! Approachable, Instructive, and Entertaining. Disagreement is a fundamental part of communication, and Why Are We Yelling breaks it down and provides a helpful set of tools for disagreeing productively. The book is approachable and it's well illustrated, too. I do wish that there were more details on some of the chapters, but I was happy with the length of the book overall. Overall, highly recommended!Take the Fear out of Arguing I've read a number of books on how to handle disagreements constructively: but most of them have focused on rhetoric and persuasion: i.e. on learning to change your opponent's mind. (And some have advocated civility of a kind that will lead to ignoring uncomfortable conflicts altogether.) Buster's book does the opposite: he writes, with humour, clarity and precision, about how to be more open to changing your own mind. He encourages us to tackle disagreement head-on and gives us tools that help dissipate the fear and anxiety that conflict arouses. Highly recommended.Instant classic. So many great insights, I immediately gave a copy to my co-founder. Easily one of my favorite books of the year! I didn’t expect to like a book about disagreements - but really, this is a guide book about how to deal with life. Buster’s comical and honest delivery of personal stories supports a dense treasure trove of research on a topic that I surprisingly knew next to nothing about, yet deal with every day. This sounds strange to say, but if I could follow some of the suggestions outlined in this book I’d probably be a better husband, father and co-worker. Thanks Buster!
