Preface * Part I: The Heart of Peace * Part II: From Peace to War * Part III: From War to Peace * Part IV: Spreading Peace Index About the Arbinger Institute
The Arbinger Institute is a worldwide institute that helps organisations, families, individuals and communities to solve the problems that have been created by the little-known but pervasive problem of self-deception - the problem of not knowing and resisting the possibility that one has a problem. Arbingers materials educate people about the problem of self-deception, and Arbingers methodologies help people to overcome it.
" In this day of whirlwind confusion and intense disconnection, The
Anatomy of Peace is a divine prescription. More than just a book to
read or an idea to consider, it is a life raft for the countless
many who are suffering in silence and drowning in fear." Iyania
Vanzant, author of "Yesterday, I Cried"
Phenomenal...compelling...vivid...poignant. This is a book that
every manager, teacher, advisor and parent should read and
apply." Steven C. Wheelwright, Senior Associate Dean, Harvard
Business School
The premise of this follow-up to Leadership and Self-Deception is simple: people whose hearts are at peace do not wage war, whether they're heads of state or members of a family. In this semi-fictional narrative ("inspired by actual events") illustrating the principles of achieving peace, the setting is a two-day parent workshop at an Arizona-based wilderness camp for out-of-control teenagers, but the storyline is a mere setting for an instruction manual. Workshop facilitators Yusuf al-Falah, a Palestinian Arab whose father was killed by Israelis in 1948, and Avi Rozen, an Israeli Jew whose father died in the Yom Kippur War, use examples from their domestic lives and the history of their region to illustrate situations in which the normal and necessary routines of daily life can become fodder for conflict. Readers observe this through the eyes of one participant, a father whose business is in nearly as much trouble as his teenage son. The usefulness of the information conveyed here on how conflicts take root, spread and can be resolved more than compensates for the pedestrian writing. $150,000 ad/promo. (Aug.)
