These topics often evoke strong, physical reactions: tension, a knot in the stomach, and rising anxiety. As perspectives clash, the fear of sparking a contentious debate can lead to frustration and division. 
    But it doesn’t have to be this way. 
    In Lose the Debate, Dr. Summer Allen introduces the ACTER model, a research-backed framework that equips readers to stay calm and open, even in tough conversations. ACTER stands for:A—Appreciate diverse opinionsC—Cultivate curiosityT—Identify triggersE—Regulate emotionsR—Practice respectful listening

Dr. Allen shares her research to show that one conversation at a time can heal divides.

    It may seem that some people are simply born charismatic, likable, and with a great set of social skills, but most are capable of developing these attributes. 
    Regardless of your personality, there are certain things you can practice in your day to day life to modify your behaviour and make you seem more trustworthy, influential and charming in your social interactions.
