I’m not sure if it’ll help you, but here’s a book that provides practical strategies for handling tough conversations and managing conflict effectively: "Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most" by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen.

I recommend the book Difficult Conversations. I found it very helpful. Not about race at all, just any discussion where feelings run hot. Sounds like you’re trying to stick to the facts with something that’s inherently emotional (ie feelings about other people’s suffering).

I also wanted to highlight Difficult Conversations, which is actually the book I recommend to people most. It provides a phenomenal framework for improving your relationships and communication and practical strategies to put it into action.
