    How to disagree better - eight tips

    You don't have to agree - disagreeing itself isn't the problem, it's how we do it

    Don't aim for the middle ground - splitting the difference isn't the answer when you fundamentally disagree

    How you talk is more important than what you talk about - "What matters is the dynamic that exists between us," says couples counsellor Esther Perel

    Speak truthfully - to form meaningful relationships what's needed is total honesty

    Listen intently and aim for empathy - it's all about "a willingness to take in what the other person says," says Esther Perel

    Dial down the rhetoric and rein in the insults - "No one in history has ever been insulted into agreement," says Harvard professor Arthur Brooks

    Understand the difference between fact and opinion - opinions are perspectives to be tested against the evidence, not just weapons to be wielded against our opponents

    Go looking for conflict - Then "listen compassionately, give your point of view and express love," says Arthur Brooks
