Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-17 00:00:00 Cristina Gracia Chivite I've read Getting to Yes: Negotiating an Agreement Without Giving In a long time ago (and probably a few other conflict resolution books), so this book basically covers similar ground. I liked: 1) the case studies - there is one point where she mentioned that one of her workshop participants workshopped a problem, and the validation he received encouraged him to act. I appreciated that requiring validation was not seen as a problem. I also liked the case study where she highlights a negotiation failed because one participant "didn't realise that her responsibility lay in producing effective results to resolve the problem; just spending ineffective time trying to achieve that result wasn't enough." 2) The ERI model (Emotional-Rational-Intuitive) - that is, being aware of your and the other person's emotions and then using your reason and intuition to make choices. 3) The visualisation technique for intuitively resolving problems - I hadn't read that before. 3/5 stars - good primer.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-17 00:00:00 Willis Conley Absolutely amazing read. One of my favourites. The concepts discussed here suggest the imperative need for a change in our thinking when disagreements and conflicts of eny kind happen. Of the most valuable and interesting nature to me is the way that I found the concept of "conflict thiking" existing in my own mind, created and given presidence by none other than myself. An amazing read that is brutally honest and particularly useful in analysing what a disagreement or conflict really is. What is its value and what do we 'create' from it voluntarily that perhaps we don't need to. In essence, how do we solve problems as a society, in interpersonal relationships and most importantly within our own mind are what this book touches upon. I highly recommend this read.
