Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This approachable guide conflict resolution offers practical advice on how to manage difficult conversations and foster healthier relationships-the Zen way
The people who get under your skin the most can in fact beyour greatest teachers.It's not a matter of overlooking differences, as is often taught, but of regarding those difficult aspects of the relationshipwith curiosity and compassion-for those very differences offera path to profound connection.
DianeHamilton's practical,reality-based guide to livingharmoniouslywith evenyour most irritating fellow humans-spouses, partners, colleagues, parents, children-shows that "getting along" is really a matter of discovering that our differences are nothing other than an expression of our even deeper shared unity.
"A minicourse in how to deal with interpersonal conflict--from a Zen perspective. With her book, her hugely popular online courses, and her workshops at venues throughout the US and the world, Diane Musho Hamilton is one of the most highly visible of experts on conflict management--with good reason: her methods, which combine Zen wisdom with principles from Ken Wilber's Integral Theory and her own extensive experience in conflict resolution, really work. In this new book, she turns her attention to one of the main places conflict manifests: in intimate relationships. She provides a very practical guide to navigating conflict in love and to coming to satisfying outcomes where both partners feel heard and have their needs honored. The book can be thought of as a kind of relationship "first aid kit," but also as something all couples should read in order to foster a harmonious and respectful loving relationship"-- Provided by publisher.
