Abstract:
"Conflict is everywhere-in our homes, at work, in our social media feeds. But conflict isn't inherently bad... in fact, it's a normal and healthy part of human relationships. Mediation expert Gabrielle Hartley argues that we've forgotten that disagreement is normal and even necessary in our relationships; instead, we've normalized a zero-sum approach to interpersonal conflict and prioritized "winning" at all costs. The Secret to Getting Along (and Why It's Easier Than You Think!) will help you reframe your approach to conflict, harness the power of storytelling, and transform your reactions to conflict and build cooperative, thriving relationships across all areas of your life"-- Provided by publisher.
