HOW WE SURVIVE (AND THRIVE) IN AN AGE OF... UA

Modern life is full of conflicts: they tear apart families, communities and entire countries. However, William Ury argues that the problem lies not in the conflicts themselves, but in the fact that people do not know how to deal with them. The author argues that one should not set out to resolve every conflict it is better to work on transforming it. How can this be done? Ury invites the reader to become a possibilist someone who finds creative ways to turn toxic confrontations into a shared benefit. The author shares numerous stories from his own experience that encourage us to look at conflicts from family disputes to international ones in a new light, and adds: confrontations are inevitable, but we can turn them into a source of our growth.
