Conflict Is an Opportunity

Bestselling author and conflict specialist Dana Caspersen sheds light on the twenty fundamental decisions everyone makes when tackling any conflict, providing a powerful practice for tackling these decisions mindfully. Designed by Joost Elffers Books, the cutting-edge production studio behind the huge New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The 33 Strategies of War, and The Art of Seduction, this elegant full-color book guides readers to strengthen their capacity to understand the landscape of conflict and take skillful action to move toward constructive change. With no jargon and no fluff, the book is structured into three sections that explore the internal, interpersonal, and systemic aspects of conflict. Through immersive analysis and impactful hands-on exercises, readers enhance awareness of how their decisions shape their internal experience, interactions, and the broader systems they inhabit. Unlike other approaches, Conflict Is an Opportunity doesn't advocate for learning new communication techniques or adopting predetermined formulas for action. Instead, it equips readers with the tools to recognize their habits and actions, decipher conflict dynamics, and consciously shape their approach to foster constructive growth and change. More than just "tips and tricks," the book offers powerful, transformative tools for thoughtfully navigating complex situations in everyday and professional lives.
