Conflict repair in relationships
Dethmer advises people who want a more candid relationship to begin by listening rather than revealing.
“Before you start revealing, start listening. Start becoming a person to whom others will reveal themselves candidly because you see them candidly”

Dethmer says candor should serve being known rather than being right, and is an act of vulnerability.
“I'm going to let you know what's going on on planet Jim. My thoughts, beliefs, interpretations, wants, desires, so you can know me, not so that I can prove I'm right”

Dethmer argues that real candor begins with distinguishing unarguable facts from the stories people invent about them.
“What we call candor begins with the ability to differentiate facts from stories. Facts are data. Facts are what is totally unarguable”
