In practical applications, Voss recommends labeling emotions during discussions. For instance, by identifying someone’s feelings (“You seem frustrated”), you can often bring the conversation back to a more constructive tone. He also advocates asking questions that elicit a "no" instead of a "yes." This method alleviates pressure on the individual being asked and encourages open communication—“Is this a stupid idea?” invites honest dialogue rather than a forced agreement.
