Amy's review
rating:
Anatomy of Peace changes the focus of conflict. Many other books try to help people adjust surface behaviors to get what they want out of those around them, and yet this strategy never challenges us to look at our own attitudes that perpetuate disharmony and block us from developing truly loving relationships.
I'm so glad to have read this. I think I will need to re-read it in six months or a year to see how I can implement it further in my life.
The only reason I would consider four stars instead of five is because some of the world history applications were rather involved, and I know the Mormon and Arbinger applications are sometimes different from my own. (Yes... I know the book addresses that very thing, about allowing prejudices to separate us...) However, I believe the principles stand alone, for ALL people: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Mormon. We all need to see others as people and live in humility and respect.
