Using mindfulness to work with and resolve the inevitable interpersonal conflicts that arise in all areas of life.

Discover how mindfulness can help you resolve the inevitable problems that arise in your personal and professional relationships in this ""groundbreaking, creative"" guide to Zen-based conflict resolution (Jan Chozen Bays)

Conflict is going to be part of your life-as long as you have relationships, hold down a job, or have dry cleaning to be picked up. Bracing yourself against it won't make it go away, but if you approach it consciously, you can navigate it in a way that not only honors everyone involved but makes it a source of deep insight as well. Seasoned mediator Diane Hamilton provides the skill set you need to engage conflict with wisdom and compassion, and even-sometimes-to be grateful for it. She teaches how to-

. Cultivate the mirror-like quality of attention as your base

. Identify the three personal conflict styles and determine which one you fall into

. Recognize the three fundamental perspectives in any conflict situation and learn to inhabit each of them

. Turn conflicts in families, at work, and in every kind of interpersonal relationship into win-win situations

Full of practical exercises that can be applied to any kind of relationship, Everything Is Workable givesreaders the tools they need to cultivate dynamic, vital, and effective relationships in their personal lives and at work.

Reviews for Everything Is Workable: A Zen Approach to Conflict Resolution

There is perhaps no greater challenge in our personal relationships than conflict. In this wonderfully engaging, perceptive, and wise little book, Diane Musho Hamilton shows us how to negotiate this delicate terrain with skillful means. William L. Ury, co-author of Getting to Yes A groundbreaking, creative account of how the qualities of nonattachment, equanimity, and flexibility of mind that are cultivated in meditation practice can help inform and enliven the vial work of mediating human conflicts and misunderstandings. Jan Chozen Bays, author of How to Train a Wild Elephant A wonderful, down-to-earth, and very useful book on conflict resolution. Read it professionally, read it as a layperson, read it for work, read it for relationships, read it for your own inner conflicts but read it for sure, and find a genuine peace and contentment under all of your seemingly intractable conflicts. Ken Wilber
