From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception (over 2 million
copies sold) comes a new edition of this bestseller that has been
thoroughly revised to more effectively address the diversity, equity,
and inclusion challenges that plague our communities and hinder our
organizations.
What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same
root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what
if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we
are trying to solve?
The Anatomy of Peace uses a fictional story of an Arab and a Jew--both
of whom lost their fathers at the hands of the other's cousins--to
powerfully show readers the way to transform conflict. We learn how they
come together, how they help parents and children come together, and how
we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social
conflicts that weigh us down.
The fourth edition includes revisions and new materials and resources
that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply
entrenched divisions throughout society. Additionally, it includes new
detailed discussions of the pattern of dehumanization that lies at the
heart of today's most pressing struggles with prejudice and
discrimination--challenges that cannot be solved until the origins of
bias and discrimination are properly understood and addressed. The new
edition is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and
prejudice in their many manifestations.
