Psychology says the moment a person stops needing to be right in every conversation is not the moment they become less intelligent - it is the moment they become more interested in the other person than in their own position, and that shift, whenever it arrives and for whatever reason, is the single most reliable predictor of whether the relationships they build from that point forward will be the kind that last - Silicon Canals

Building lasting connections relies on listening deeply and understanding rather than winning arguments.
