The truth is that we can’t change anyone’s mind. Only they can do that. Yet as David McRaney explains in his new book, "How Minds Change," there are a number of new techniques that can help us be much more persuasive, but they don’t require brilliant sophistry or snappy rhetoric. They involve more listening than speaking, and understanding the context in which beliefs arise.

Now, I have never been a gym-freak, and noticed that my arms would quickly get tired after I carried them for only a few minutes. I worried what would happen when they quickly grew and got heavier. Would I soon be unable to hold them for more than a minute?
