Meredith and her father have not talked about politics in almost two years. They have not fought about it either. They talk about the rain gauge in his garden, his knee and her children, and on the drive home she thinks, I miss him, and he is sitting across the table. This book has no favorite party and will not tell you who is right. It helps you see whether your silence is peace or a loss, which relationship can hold, and how to keep someone without agreeing with them.

How this book was made

Every figure in it is checked against its source and listed in the notes at the back. Where the book knows a figure only from a report about it, it says so.

Each piece of advice is marked. Tested means an experiment measured what happens when people follow it. Observed means there is data on people who did it, which is not proof that it works. Untested means the research found nothing direct, and the book explains why the advice is there anyway.

There is also a German edition, edited in German.
