Agreed. Though I will also say, how to achieve this is exactly what is taught in Crucial Conversations.
Crucial conversations are moments when (1) opinions vary, (2) stakes are high, and (3) emotions run strong. How to have them, how to recognize when stakes start ramping up and people go into fight-or-flight, how to shift out of that, are all covered.
It starts with oneself and then the important relationships in our lives. Most of us have difficulty with crucial conversations with people we care about and our close relations. If we cannot even share meaning with people close to us, then we have no hope of sharing meaning with strangers.
This is what I have been working on myself. It has been challenging. And though I have not fully mastered it, I see a lot of results and relief.
