In this polarized time, we lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don\u2019t see them as they see themselves\u2013their core values and central concerns\u2013but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested.<\/p>\n

When we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground.<\/p>\n
