A Good Argument - Daniel Taub - Bog

In a world of increasingly fractious debate and seemingly irreconcilable differences, whether at the level of public political discourse or in the much-reported culture wars, this book makes an unheard case for argument as a force for good.Daniel Taub was a lead negotiator in the Israel-Palestine peace process and then served as Israel's ambassador to the UK, and in this new book he pulls together telling insights from being at the table for some of the world's most fraught negotiations, applied hints and tips from the lectures and Difficult Conversations labs he now presents at universities and businesses in Israel, the US and the UK. This is all underpinned by a deep understanding of Jewish thought which, he argues, holds the key to a completely different understanding of how a good argument should develop the thinking of all those involved, and can lead to harmony rather than discord.This is an intriguing popular non-fiction title with much for all of us to learn from Daniel's diplomatic and political insights, his negotiation techniques, and from his repackaging of ancient wisdom presented in a readily comprehensible form. Comparisons include Jonathan Haidt, Simon Sinek, David Brooks.
