Adam Grant's newsletter:
Bob taught me a technique for dealing with assholes that I’ve adapted to people who have dramatically different views. When you find out someone holds beliefs that you see as wrong or offensive, you think of yourself as a galactic anthropologist who’s just discovered alien life. You say to yourself, “Wow, what a fascinating specimen!” Instead of pure outrage at their opinions, you start to get curious about how they arrived at those opinions—and what would motivate them to change them. Which leads to a much more open-minded conversation.
