Heartfelt, honest and inspiring

What a life-changing book! Heartfelt, honest and inspiring. I'm already feeling its presence in my life. I love how the author incorporates all the various aspects of interaction in human existence--be, do, see, feel, etc. The lessons in this book are applicable to situations from dealing with a crabby cashier at the grocery store, to resolving conflicts in Iraq, Northern Ireland, and Israel/Palestine. Emotions and other "non-rational" aspects of conflict are rarely addressed in traditional attempts at conflict resolution. Kudos to the author for discussing these issues.
