Description
Most of us have a messy relationship with conflict. When confronted with it, our fight-or-flight response kicks in and we either rush into battle or back away. By defaulting to one of these options, however, we risk damaging ties to people we care about, opening ourselves up to future retaliation, or allowing resentments to fester.Positively Conflicted invites us to reexamine our instinctive reactions to conflict. Full of stories from the author's own life and the mediations he's facilitated, the book shows us how conflict can be productive-even nourishing-when approached with curiosity, kindness, and openness.
