Synopsis

From the authors of Leadership and Self-Deception (over 2 million copies sold) comes a new edition of this bestseller that has been thoroughly revised to more effectively address the diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges that plague our communities and hinder our organizations.

What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve?

This book uses a fictional story to reveal a powerful truth: the underlying mindset that perpetuates conflict. This fourth edition includes revisions throughout, as well as new materials and resources, that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. It is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations.

The Anatomy of Peace is the story of an Arab and a Jew, each of whom lost their fathers at the hands of each other's cousins. We learn how they come together, how they help their warring parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social conflicts that weigh us down.

Three reasons I wanted to hate this book: 1. Not written by a person but by an institute? 2. "Personal Growth" is the genre listed on the back--ugh! and 3. It just had cheesy corny all over it. And then, when I began reading, and everything felt horribly contrived...ok, WAS horribly contrived, I thou......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on June 11, 2011

Well, I think this book has an important message. It made me re-think some aspects of my life and offers some very true advice. The diagrams are helpful for the visual learner. Unfortunately, the book is quite painful to read. It is one of those books that tries to teach concepts via a story. But in......more

The Arbinger Institute came out with a book to precede The Anatomy of Peace, called, Leadership and Self-Deception. They both present a paradigm shift in the way we percieve those around us. The Anatomy of Peace has influenced how I interact with others within the walls of my own home more than any......more

Goodreads review by Bharath on October 25, 2022

I was referred this book by some friends. It tackles the issue of how we get into conflicts with others, how they get worse and how we can resolve this with fresh thinking. Since the book is largely a dialogue among people, the audiobook is a great format. The setting is a fictional meeting of a gro......more
