This book, The Anatomy of Peace, is one that falls into the category of ‘the books that changed my life’!
I read it over the Christmas break last year, and mulled over several situations and it gave me some powerful insights and ideas to resolve problems and conflict. Whilst I can’t provide details here, I can look back over this year at 4 or 5 situations that I think were resolved due to the application of principles I gleaned from this book. Some of them actual cases in litigation, others were team based, and others more close to home.
As a Dispute Resolution lawyer, I seem to attract conflict and difficult situations ! But this book caused me to think about conflict a lot more deeply, and not just looking out at the world, but it also held up a mirror to see some realisations about myself.
Whether its power struggles in a global conglomerate, tension within a community or workplace, or strained family relationships – this book will give you a fresh approach and understanding.
Enjoy !
What if conflicts at home, conflicts at work, and conflicts in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we systematically perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve? Every day.
From the authors of Leadership & Self-Deception comes the expanded second edition of an international bestseller that instills hope and inspires reconciliation.
Through a moving story of parents who are struggling with their own children and with problems that have come to consume their lives, we learn from once-bitter enemies the way to transform personal, professional, and global conflicts, even when war is upon us.
