Advice for Changing Someone's Mind: Listen and Understand Their Perspective
To have any hope of changing someone's mind, the best approach is to listen and truly understand why they think what they think.

It is crucial to recognize that individuals act based on their perception of the world, and nobody intentionally acts irrationally. Additionally, people generally believe that they are doing good things.
