The Anatomy of Peace, Third Edition: Resolving the Heart of Conflict

My whole life I've been trying to figure out better ways to improve my relationships, & resolve conflicts & problems in them. I've read many books on the subject & learned from nearly all of them. But THIS book! Wow! It resonates in the way only a book that is filled with profound truths can resonate. It's told in a way that really draws you in & makes you wonder what is going to happen next. After reading it, I feel inspired & encouraged to try the confilct-resolution method described. I look forward to it even! I invite you to read The Anatomy of Peace with an open mind & an open heart. It feels like a game-changer to me!

Everyone should read this book it gives you great insight on how to deal with people in the world. It requires you to think on how you really see the world and how your mindset is affecting those around you and yourself. This book is great for teenager and adults alike and all occupations.

Really pushes you to examine yourself. Keeping out of the box is the goal. Works anywhere any time and is successful.

Muy buen libro, con conceptos para reflexionar y practicar en e, día a día en la búsqueda de la soluciones a los conflictos,

This book has helped me change myself and in turn I have been able to see real change in my relationships. I have studied this book on its own, with an Arbinger coach, and with the study guide (offered on the Arbinger website). Each time I study it I learn more about myself and how to change my mindset to be a better person. I highly recommend this book!

I think that the authors need to be more transparent about who they are. My finding is that the authors of this book are most likely conservative white Mormon men. I was mostly liking this book. But towards the end, I felt really uncomfortable with the discussion about race and decided to do more research on who the authors are.This was what the ideas about Black Panther protests came across like to me: "Black protestors and selfish/bad because they are not peaceful and accepting their oppressions. They have their heart at war. They are making life so much harder for white people. and do not think about it. And so even if the black protestors are the ones being beaten and tear-gassed, because they are not accepting their oppression in peace, they might as well be tear-gassing the white people/police." But the authors say this through the character of a Black professor. The authors are trying the deceptively insert a manufactured "credible-seeming" lone black perspective to seemingly vilify black protests against racism. "The one black person who is better than the rest of the black people since he has similar opinions to white people. And every black person should think like him". How do the authors know if every person in the protests had their hearts at war and not just doing "what needed to be done"? Aren't the authors showing that they are themselves in the box towards black protestors by stereotyping them and not seeing their human needs?So while I think that many of the ideas in this book are useful, there seems to be a conservative agenda hidden as well that goes against the overall message of this book.
