How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide Free Audiobook Download by Peter Boghossian,James Lindsay

"Making social interactions less challenging" is the goal of this audiobook, which features three stories of people who encounter challenging conversations and how they resolved them. The authors offer advice on how to identify and confront difficult conversations, as well as ways to deal with them when you're in the midst of them.

When someone brags about how they have never been offended by anything, it is always wise to ask them what they think of the n-word. The answer you will get is that they think it is a word that people use to express themselves. When you ask more questions, you will be told that it hurts when white people use the word because it makes them feel bad.

In the book, Boghossian-Lindsay provide a section of "Tips for Avoiding and Surviving Impossible Conversations." They recommend that you avoid these conversations and if you do, should be prepared for them. One tip given is to have the conversation in a place where there are no immediate opportunities for meandering and side-tracking.

The problem with conversations is that they're so damn easy to have and so damn difficult to end. Everyone has a conversation at some point or another, and it can be difficult to keep the conversation going, especially if you're trying to change someone's mind about something. As a result, many of our conversations are not productive -- or even worse: they might actually be harmful to our relationships. But what if it were suddenly possible for us to have conversations about anything we wanted -- for instance, building walls around the world's largest oil reserves, taking away people's right to vote, eliminating the minimum wage -- without anyone having any idea?

'How to Have Impossible Conversations' is an audiobook written by a philosopher, a professor and an attorney, Peter Boghossian. The narrator of the book is James Lindsay. This audiobook teaches listeners how to have conversations that are impossible to win and yet maintain your integrity while doing so, it's very practical.

In this audiobook, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay, who are both professors of philosophy at Portland State University in Oregon, present the reader with a light-hearted but clear guide to having conversations without getting frustrated or giving up. They detail the proper techniques for keeping your cool when people don't listen to you or get defensive and tell you that you're wrong.
