- Happy rela makes us feel more in control of our happiness. In conflict: self control, envrmnt, prob boundaries
- Who we are convo: draw out multiple identities, put everyone on equal footing, create new groups w/ shared identities
- How convo might go wrong: lump ppl into group they hate & deny group membership
- To make diff convo safer: prime people to think about what might go wrong, and their response plan

1. Importance or non verbal cues - assess their 'mood' and 'energy', then match these with theirs (your tone of voice, volume, facial expression, laughter)
2. Conflict consists of surface issue & emotional issue (not wanting a baby vs. spouse prioritise career over family life)
3. In a conflict, prove you’re listening, not waiting for a rebuttal: ask questions, summarise, ask if you got it right.

Key to figuring out the ‘what’s this really about’ question is to determine which mindset people use: logic of costs and benefits or logic of similarities
Author also presents questions that elicits real connection: beliefs, values, meaninful experiences that draw out vulnerability.
Reciprocity is also key. Express your own POV.

“Listen closely to what’s said and unsaid, ask the right questions, recognize and match others’ moods, and make our own feelings easy for others to perceive.”
This quote reminds me of a clip of Sam Altman sharing advice on how students should prepare for the future. His answer is similar to the concept of this book: to figure out what people want and value - which may not be clear during the first convo.
