When talking with someone who feels strongly about something, but may not have the best reasons to support their view, it can be tempting to shut them down with logic. But remember your goal isn't to shut them down, it's to put a stone in their shoe, so to speak; to get them thinking.
The next time you're in this kind of conversation, here are three things to remember:
First, choose your target. What is the point you want to make?
Second, determine the steps you need to take to get to your conclusion.
Third, ask questions that enlist your friend as an ally in making your point.
