Trying to argue someone out of a position is futile. Consider whether you are as open-minded about your opinions as you are expecting them to be.
An interesting approach worth looking into is motivational interviewing:
The central premise: Instead of trying to force other people to change, you’re better off helping them find their own intrinsic motivation to change. You do that by interviewing them — asking open-ended questions and listening carefully — and holding up a mirror so they can see their own thoughts more clearly. If they express a desire to change, you guide them toward a plan.
