The Anatomy of Peace, Fifth Edition - by Arbinger Institute (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Most conflict advice focuses on tactics. The Anatomy of Peace goes deeper--revealing why people in conflict unknowingly work against their own goals, and how to change that from the inside out.

Told through a compelling story set at Camp Moriah, this perennial bestseller follows an Arab man and a Jewish man--each having lost his father to the other's people--as they help parents, leaders, and colleagues discover the hidden root cause behind every conflict.

What you'll gain from this book:

• A framework for understanding why conflicts persist even when everyone wants resolution
• Practical tools for healing fractured relationships at home, at work, and in communities
• A proven methodology used by law enforcement, corporations, and nonprofits worldwide
• A self-study and group discussion guide (new to the fifth edition) for teams and book clubs

Who it's for: Leaders navigating workplace friction, parents struggling with family conflict, mediators, educators, and anyone who wants lasting peace--not just temporary ceasefires.

Translated into over thirty languages and a top-selling conflict-resolution book for nearly two decades, this revised fifth edition is the definitive guide to resolving conflict at its source.
