highly recommended

Like Arbingers international bestseller Leadership and Self-Deception, The Anatomy of Peace helps us see how we actually cause the problems we think are caused by other people. Were trapped by preconceived ideas and self-justifying reactions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively. As a result, our efforts to make things better all too often make them worse. Through an intriguing story of parents who are struggling with their children and with problems that have come to consume their lives, we learn from once-bitter enemies the way to find peace whenever war is upon us. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the others ethnic cousins. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down.

The "Box" - A Powerful Pattern Awareness Technique

The 'box' is a wonderful toy to help us view our common ways of getting into and out of negative perspectives. Simple awareness and identification of a way of being allows us the choice to move on.

Thank you Arbinger.

A life changing event

This book along with its companion book "Leadership and Self Deception" have altered my life. The concepts discussed, while simple in concept are fundamental in terms of human nature

Get out of the box

An excellent book for self-improvement, self-analysis, and self-awareness. Helps you to recognize where you make your decisions from and the affect it has on yourself and the people in your life. I'm eagerly looking forward to more books from the Arbinger Institute!

LIFE CHANGING

I have purchased and given away many copies of this incredible book. I am re-reading it again with my young son and have given a copy to my ex-husband along with a sincere apology for so much of my behavior and attitude towards him since we began to pull apart. The companion book 'Leadership and Self-Deception' is also amazing. Both should be required reading in schools and in every other organization.

Superlative book on communication

This book shows us exactly how and why communication falls apart in conflict situations, and shows us a better way to approach such situations without ever seeming preachy or self-righteous. The reader of this book will readily relate to the characters in the story, and come away with a genuine appreciation of the people around them that s/he may never have possessed before. You could just as easily call this book "the anatomy of love," and use it as a tool to heal relationships with any friend or family member with whom you ever had a fight, misunderstanding or falling-out.

Like any tool, this one will only work if you use it, and like many tools, it's one that could hurt you if you use it wrong or are careless with it. But if you have a genuine desire or need to reconnect with someone (especially a spouse, child or parent), this book could make all the difference.
