Being right often costs more than it's worth, especially in relationships. In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs dives into how the need to win arguments often leads to frustration and disconnection.

This episode also explores practical steps to embrace open-mindedness and respecting different perspectives even when they clash with one's own.

Key Takeaways:

  • The need to be right can cost you more than it's worth.
