them
2. Whether getting angry usually makes it easier or more
difficult to reach an agreement in the end
3. How you might be able to stop yourself getting too angry
if someone disagrees with you

3. Disagreeing – being agreeable

How you might be able to disagree with someone without making
them angry or upset?

disagreeable person?
Is an agreeable person more likely to feel good than a disagreeable
person?
4. Is it possible to be too agreeable?
