Vissa dagar känns det som det enda vi kan vara överens om är att vi inte är överens om något alls. Julia Dhar drar nytta av sin bakgrund som världsmästare i debatteknik, och erbjuder tre tekniker för att omforma hur vi pratar med varandra så att vi kan hitta samsyn och vara oense på ett konstruktivt sätt, på familjemiddagar, på jobbmöten och i våra samtal på nationell nivå.
