But how to do it?

• An explanation of the different styles of conflict • Cognitive biases that help explain polarized and lose-lose positions • Practical methods and activities for changing our own and others' minds • When punishment works and doesn't, and how to encourage discipline in children without using violence • The skill of self-compassion and ways to reduce prejudice in ourselves and others • Incredible programs that are rebuilding trust between people after genocide.
