Powerfully simple concept brought alive with great examples

To savor your life by sidestepping or reducing opportunities for conflict turn from instinctual defensive or "either/or thinking" to the "and" approach were you can hold apparently conflicting notions in your mind and find a middle way. Lisa makes this concept come alive with examples from the famous and from everyday situations. I've written two books on conflict resolution and read over 50. Lisa writes in a way that can interest even the non-avid reader. She pulls people in with her conversational style.

Great for All Positive Work Environments

I manage a large WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program in the Atlanta Area. We have a motivated work force who are constantly trying to improve our attitudes towards each other and with our clients. This book offers tools for both. After reading the book, I chose to purchase 18 copes for our supervisory staff's reading group. We read a book and determine how we can utilize the information and tools with our staff and each other to improve service delivery. Although we haven't begun the process of sharing yet...I am excited by the possibilities. The skills of honoring the other's truth will help us toward our goals of Servant Leadership. Hopefully, through our supervisors modeling and explaing the "truth skills" from this book, we will help our staff move even further along the way towards strengths building with our clients. The hoped for outcome....behavior change positively impacting obesity, low birth weight and prematurity. Georgia needs this kind of help. Just wanted to say, I believe and choose to act to assure these skills are applied in our public workforce. This book is intended for everyone both in the work life (public and private sectors) and personal life of individuals.

Send this book to Congress, the PTA, your boss & your mother-in-law - The Triangle of Truth!

Wouldn't it be great if our country's leaders would implement The Triangle of Truth problem-solving model to address the healthcare crisis? Good ideas within the pages of this book. I recommend this book to anyone who faces conflict (and who doesn't), from in the office to the PTA or within their own families.
