The author explains that arguing with people is futile and harmful because it makes them defensive, resentful, and stubborn. He gives examples of how famous people like Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, and Socrates avoided arguments and used tact and diplomacy instead. He also gives tips on how to handle disagreements gracefully and respectfully, such as listening first, finding areas of agreement, admitting mistakes, and postponing action. He concludes that avoiding arguments is a better way to influence people than trying to prove them wrong.
