The international bestseller on conflict resolution has been updated with a powerful new discussion guide for creating lasting change in organizations, relationships, and communities.

New from the Arbinger Institute, the authors of the bestselling Leadership and Self-Deception, comes an updated edition of its transformative work on conflict resolution.

What if the conflicts in our lives—from personal disagreements to workplace tensions to global divisions—all stem from the same root cause? The Anatomy of Peace shows how our biases and behaviors perpetuate cycles of conflict and, more importantly, how we can break free from these patterns to create lasting peace and meaningful change.

This book unfolds as a story. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the other’s ethnic cousins. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and global conflicts that weigh us down, even when war is upon us.

This new edition includes a new preface and an extensive discussion guide that helps readers apply these principles in practical ways, making it an invaluable resource for organizations, teams, and individuals seeking to transform conflict into cooperation.
