The Bobby LaPre I was talking to, on the other hand, felt alone and worried about his mother. It's this other person you're talking to, the person you don't know who you need to reach for when conflict starts to tear you apart. Understanding that there's more beneath the surface is one thing, but figuring out how to connect with their deeper self is another.

How exactly are you supposed to reach them? The Struggle You Hear When Bobby called my question stupid, Everything inside me wanted to prove him wrong. In that instant, the needs of the case took a backseat to my needs. My desire to be seen as right blinded me to any other options. I wanted to win. It's what I'm expected to do. Oh, you're an attorney? You must win a lot of arguments.

I hear it all the time. It's also not true. Thanks to the countless books out there claiming to teach you how to win every argument, that's all anyone thinks you're supposed to do. Win. So let me tell you now. If that's why you're listening to this, go ahead and return it. The sales pitch of winning an argument is overused and overpromised. That's not this book. And I'll tell you why.

For one, you can win an argument and still be wrong. And second, even if you win, you still come up empty-handed. Winning an argument is a losing game. Winning means that you've likely lost something far more valuable. Their trust, their respect, or worse, the connection. The only reward you've won is their contempt. And for what? The argument ends. The conversation is over. You won.

Congratulations. Now what do you got? the same unresolved issue at the cost of hurt feelings and awkward silence. Most likely, you still have to find a way to communicate with this person. You still have to live with them, to work with them. Depending on what you said, you may now be the one who owes an apology.

Any feeling of pride is short-lived compared to the lasting damage to the relationship. Trial attorneys don't even win arguments. They don't get to choose their clients' facts. They don't get to choose which law to follow. Everything has to pass through a filter of admissibility. Then it's up to the judge or the jury to apply the law to the evidence.

What we do is more about giving facts a voice than it is about winning an argument. Competition in communication has convinced society that the world is divided into right and wrong, winners and losers. After a political debate, the first question someone asks the next morning is always, who won? But if we go back in time to the ancient Greeks, discourse had nothing to do with winning.
