Quotes to ponder:
"We can quickly build up a lot of anxiety and anger, even before we have all of the facts or a chance to reflect on what is going happening."
"We unconsciously start to build assumptions about why the other person is wrong, why they are a jerk, why we are right, and why we feel we should 'win' this issue."
"Here are three basic strategies you can start using right away to get better results: avoid getting caught off guard, learn to pay attention to yourself, and seek to bring out the best in the other person."
