Product Description
Like Arbingers international bestseller Leadership and Self-Deception, The Anatomy of Peace helps us see how we actually cause the problems we think are caused by other people. Were trapped by preconceived ideas and self-justifying reactions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively. As a result, our efforts to make things better all too often make them worse. Through an intriguing story of parents who are struggling with their children and with problems that have come to consume their lives, we learn from once-bitter enemies the way to find peace whenever war is upon us. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the others ethnic cousins. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down.

An apparently additional redundant POSITIVE review June 30, 2008

Well, that is pretty impressive. At the time of writing this review there are currently 64 reviews, and of those 59 are 5-star and 5 are 4-star. Really, that should say a lot.
The Arbinger Institute has crafted one of the best works on understanding the root of peace in humanity that I have ever seen. The "warring in your heart" concept is something we all probably innately understand, but rarely, if ever, think about in the way presented in this work. Were all of us to understand this concept and the principles around "getting out of the box(es)" that keep us at war in our hearts, we would surely root out many problems in our families, workplaces, communities, and international relations.
This truly is one of those rare books that I would recommend to anyone.

This book does not teach you to slow yourself down it teaches you how to deal with your life in a better manner while still maintaining the pace you wish to live. This is a life changing read and I also think if you are in business you should read the Self Deception book by the same author(s). You will not find a better read even for someone who hadn't finished a complete book since college (yes many years ago), I read them both in less than a week. Good Luck (this will help)

Excellent! April 28, 2008
I just finished this book last night. Hard to put down. Well written and easy to follow, using a fictional narrative to teach principles of avoiding conflict.
Set in a treatment program setting, several people discover how they are destroying their relationships with their children/co-workers. The reader learns first, how they are wrecking their relationships; second, how to view themselves in a different way; third, how to change AND maintain the new outlook and heal broken communication lines. The Change Pyramid at the end was very helpful.
Essentially, all this boils down to the Golden Rule and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Where people go wrong is seeing where they fail in this setting. This book, a sequel and a much better personal substitute for "Leadership and Self Deception" gives practical advice and entertaining examples that many could relate to on some level.

This is a must sequel to Leadership and Self-Deception. These two books have been of the most influential books I have ever read.
Great Follow-up book to Leadership and Self-Deception March 27, 2008

This book is a great follow-up to Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box.
The book is actually a prequel to Leadership and Self-Deception, but I enjoyed reading The Anatomy of Peace second because it expanded on the back story of a book I already love.
The book expands the philosophy presented in Leadership and Self-Deception from a business and home focus to a much larger scale spanning nations and races.
A very enjoyable read. I highly recommend it.
