Great analysis of where we are going wrong

A great book discussion how destructive our communication has become in society. Author lost me a bit on the gender chapter, but was very informative and understandable otherwise.

חשוב מאד

אהבתי את הגישה שלה. כדאי שכולם יאמצו. אותה, פה שם ובכל מקום. לוותר על תרבות הויכוח ולעבור להקשבה.

Not my favorite

Not one of my favorite Deborah Tannen books.
sure, we certainly do need a way to defuse argumentative situations and figure out how to have constructive conversations - but this extremely short book felt more just a list of complaints about what's wrong with the world today.

Understanding the poisonous argument culture

Though written in the 1990s Deborah Tannen's explanations and analysis is spot on and demonstrates why the poisonous political climate has not changed. This is not only or primarily about the political climate though but also personal relationships. A must, listen and then get a copy of the book.

Information is dated

I love reading books by Dr. Tannen, because I find most of her information is still relevant today. However, this book was written when internet use was in its infancy so how people communicated in the mid-90s is much different than how it's done today. Overall there are still some good pieces of information.
