Not a specific one, but Cialdini's book the principles of persuasion, is probably the best book on psychology, and it's centered on a short list of these "tricks" that cause an automatic "click-whirr" response in humans.

In an argument, never use "you". No accusations. Keep a calm, relaxed tone of voice. Even if they don't concede, they will eventually apologize and reconsider their position, but it may take a while after the conversation ended.

"I didn't think that purchase was necessary."

~~"You upset me."~~

"I was made to feel upset."
