Getting it into my DNA! July 21, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love the concepts taught in this book. I find them profound. I recognize the truth of them as soon as I read them. And I've been trying ever since to make them a fundamental part of my being...at the cellular level! I want it to be who I am without having to thnk things through so much. I'm looking forward to the day when my natural reaction to a challenging situation is a qualified, loving reception of the other's point of view, and that from me, he is validated. And in my presence, he feels good about himself. This book is showing me how to do that. The more I study it, the more deeply I am able to think about things and BE the best version of me possible; the rewards are indescribable. The joy that comes from living 'out of the box' are more incredible than anything else I can think of. When we look upon every soul wih compassion, love, respect, and treat them with kindness, regardless of the mood they may be in, regardless of the challenges they currently face, and regardless of what kind of day we had ourselvs, we have won the greatest victory; victory over self. Connecting with people is the work of this lifetime. Being children of God, we can't help but feel best when we reach out to others in service, compassion and love, unconditionally. That's the way He made us! This book could change the world. It could provide the 'powers that be' a new place to start, and a different way to think of things, and therefore, a different way to respond...one that never threatens the dignity and respect each feels he/she deserves. Peace "out there" starts with peace "in here", right inside my own self. When I am at peace in my own heart, I am able to go out and help create peace in the world, one encounter at a time. I LOVE this book!

The Anatomy of Peace takes the first book from the Arbinger Institute, "Leadership and Self-Deception," (hereafter LASD) to the next level. Where LASD teaches about being in the box toward others, Anatomy of Peace explains what the boxes are and how we make them. I can't recommend this book enough. As soon as I read just the first few pages of LASD I knew they were keepers and had to stop and immediately order one each for my husband and myself, so we'd each be able to highlight them where wanted and re-read them at will. Don't pass either of these books by, they are books I will use and read throughout my life.
 Great follow-up... June 26, 2007

This is a wonderful follow-on to the Leadership & Self-Deception title from the Arbinger Institute. Really solidifies their thoughts. I found it very thought provoking.
Finally, a rational approach to interpersonal conflict. May 15, 2007

In the interplay of psycho-social theories and self-help books, there is a rare moment of practical advice that holds up to the most rigorous of philosophical critique. The Anatomy of Peace is a book that resides in such a moment. I will be forever grateful for having discovered this book, as will those with whom I have been in conflict for the greater part of my life. It is a book of stories that contains strategies for resolving conflict that really work. Our entire office has read the book and we are now a more productive organization for it.

This book helped me understand the principles of peace in a way nothing else has. I have always strived to live a Christian life and be a good wife and mother, but this book taught me why and how those doctrines of peace make us happy. It clearly shows the best news of all--that we have chosen to put ourselves in self-defeating boxes and we can choose to step out of those boxes. It is a liberating exercise and will affect all those who come in contact with you. I highly recommend this book for anyone, any faith.
