The ‘Emergency Exit Rule’ Can Help You Win Almost Every Argument

Murphy Jr. calls these tips the ‘emergency exit rule.’ 

According to him, the rule is all about planting the seeds that allow people to maintain their pride and reputation even if they agree with you. Check out his full piece on the rule, filled with examples, here!
