CNN's John Sutter offers some negotiation advice. He says people should ask themselves what the other person wants out of a situation, not just their own views. This is especially important if you're trying to come to an agreement with someone who doesn't share your view on issues such as gun control and immigration. "I think it's nice to be nice, but even if you're just a selfish jerk"
In this episode, we sit down with negotiation expert Misha Glouberman who explains how to talk to people about things -- that is, how to avoid the pitfalls associated with debate when two or more people attempt to come to an agreement that will be mutually beneficial.
