My Guest Dr. Mark Goulston is a psychiatrist and the world’s foremost expert in relational conflict management. He’s the author of many NYT bestselling books, including Talking To Crazy: How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life.
Conventional wisdom on how to deal with irrational people is typically that you simply can’t. But Mark will systematically dismantle that notion in this episode, offering truly genius ways to communicate with angry, unreasonable and even antagonistic people…even getting them to work WITH you instead of against you.
Nowhere is this skill set more important than in our relationships with women, and Dr. Goulston does not disappoint. He brings solid strategies and practical steps to ‘taming the shrew’, and you’ll likely be amazed by how so many of us as men tend to do the exact opposite of what works when arguing with women.
Why does telling someone to ‘calm down’ always seem to make them even more upset? What is it about ‘mansplaining’ that drives women nuts? When exactly is a smile not what you should be hoping for?
And what has Mark learned from years of couples counseling, suicide intervention and training hostage negotiators? Stay tuned until the end for a great story from Mark’s single days…what happened when women on dates found out he was a psychiatrist?
You’ll emerge from this episode feeling more confident than ever anytime conflict arises with the woman in your life, or anyone else.
