Combining good old-fashioned storytelling with very practical tips on how to get out of high conflict situations where the conflict itself seems to take over as opposed to any original disagreement。 Jump to the appendix for straightforward guidance but circle back to the narrative woven throughout the book that shows under high conflict， you may feel like you're getting what you want but it's to the detriment of everyone。 I think this should be mandatory reading for politicians and pundits to st Combining good old-fashioned storytelling with very practical tips on how to get out of high conflict situations where the conflict itself seems to take over as opposed to any original disagreement。 Jump to the appendix for straightforward guidance but circle back to the narrative woven throughout the book that shows under high conflict， you may feel like you're getting what you want but it's to the detriment of everyone。 I think this should be mandatory reading for politicians and pundits to start to have more elevated conversations and more curiosity rather than us versus them demonizing mentalities。 。。。more

Fantastic read- provocative， relevant， insightful。 Contains many references to other notable authors and works。 Though chalk-full of concrete information reads as a narrative and allows readers to delve into an open， extroverted worldview during increasingly divisive periods of history。

I read this book within a day。 The concept of high conflict is portrayed in a well-researched and relatable manner。 Amanda Ripley is an eloquent writer and her organization of ideas and stories is brilliant - I was hooked from the Introduction and by the time I was at the end of the last chapter， I did not want this book to end。 I wanted to hear more stories about people and situations of high conflict， how they got into them， how they succeeded in getting out of them and what they learned about I read this book within a day。 The concept of high conflict is portrayed in a well-researched and relatable manner。 Amanda Ripley is an eloquent writer and her organization of ideas and stories is brilliant - I was hooked from the Introduction and by the time I was at the end of the last chapter， I did not want this book to end。 I wanted to hear more stories about people and situations of high conflict， how they got into them， how they succeeded in getting out of them and what they learned about themselves and society in the process。 While most of the people and places in this book was centered around the US， I appreciated examples from around the world。 I learned about conflicts in Syria and Columbia， amongst other things， and had the opportunity to reflect on high conflict situations I have been stuck in as well as the us-and-them mentality that I sometimes find in my thoughts。 This book opened my worldview and I feel better equipped to identity and handle high conflict。 An important reminder of this book was that people change， as do the identities that we identify with。 High Conflict is a treasure chest of knowledge and that last chapter about the cultural exchange between a New York synagogue and correction officers in Michigan was very impactful。 While the book does touch on polar political ideas， it is not just about that。 It is about human psychology， our need to be accepted and all the invisible forces that surround us。 Many many thanks to the publisher for gifting me the ebook through NetGalley。 A more in-dept review coming to Armed with A Book next week。 。。。more
