The Anatomy of Peace, Fourth Edition: Resolving the Heart of Conflict

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?

This book uses a fictional story to reveal a powerful truth: the underlying mindset that perpetuates conflict. This fourth edition includes revisions throughout, as well as new materials and resources, that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. It is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations.

The Anatomy of Peace is the story of an Arab and a Jew, each of whom lost their fathers at the hands of each other's cousins. We learn how they come together, how they help their warring 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.
