Nobody changes their mind mid-argument. Here’s what actually works.

Harvard Kennedy School professor and Builders Movement Partner Julia Minson makes a really important point: most of us go into disagreements thinking that if we just explain things clearly, the other person will “get it” and agree. But that’s not how people work—beliefs don’t flip in a single conversation.

Instead, the real win is building enough trust and understanding to have another conversation later. It’s not about changing someone’s mind on the spot, it’s about keeping the door open.

Minson dives into this idea in her new book How to Disagree Better, where she shows how being receptive—actually listening and engaging with another perspective—leads to better conversations, decisions, and outcomes over time.
