The book looks at the true reasons behind our conflicts with family, colleagues, and friends—and explains how to improve relationships with the people around you.
In the modern world, personal connections are thinning out; it’s becoming harder to maintain close relationships, and contradictions feel impossible to resolve. But what if the root cause of all conflicts is the same thing?
The book is written as a story about two men, Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rosen, a Jew—each of whom lost his father at the hands of the other man’s cousins. They come together to help their feuding parents and children overcome resentments and find peace. As we read their story, we realize that we can also find a way out of any conflicts that leave us feeling unhappy and defeated.
The book includes specific schemes, methods, and tools based on four decades of research in the psychology of human behavior and experience working with organizations around the world. It also offers diagrams and charts that explain the key ideas in detail.
