Managing Conflict Mindfully

All of us, including the most elevated, sometimes make unwise decisions related to conflict and difficult situations. Such choices can lead to missed opportunities, suboptimal agreements, and impaired relationships, and even to the fear, hatred, anxiety, polarization, and violence that infuse and infect much of today's world.

In Managing Conflict Mindfully: Don't Believe Everything You Think, Leonard Riskin-law professor, mediator, and mindfulness teacher-helps us understand how and why this happens and what we can do about it, through a new framework that integrates negotiation, mindfulness, and internal family systems. Drawing on decades of practice, research, and teaching, this book extends Riskin's influential writings and brings new insights to accepted ideas about negotiation. It could help anyone deal better with others, or with themselves.
