Conflict: Phases, Forums, and Solutions: For our Dreams and Body, Organizations, Governments, and Planet Paperback – January 25, 2017

Mindell's latest book on the subject of successfully dealing with conflicts is aimed first at training facilitators in conflict resolution. It contains a wealth of structures, strategies and perspectives that Mindell has developed in his world-wide experience over decades. Compared to his earlier Sitting in the Fire (1995), Mindell demonstrates the considerable evolution in his attitude and views brought forth by his work in quantum physics, earth-based psychologies and the relationship between psychology and physics.The reader will find clear, well-organized chapters to which every attention has been brought to increase clarity and precision; exercises accompany each section with discussions to enhance the reader's comparative perspective to his or her own understanding.Therapists, couples and family counselors will benefit from this book as well as consultants, trainers, managers and other organizational professions. But why stop there? Are you annoyed by a co-worker or neighbor? Mindlell has generalized the conflict pattern to relationships as well.

It's nice to have a book like this from someone truly working in applied settings in conflict. I gave it 5 stars as it is nearly 400 pages of exploring practical applied ways of working with small and large group conflict. This is quite rare to have such a voice of experience in the field of conflict. Mindell talks about his successes and failures. I'm using it as a reference guide to look up things such as how to give feedback in a humane way, and how to work with conflict in various settings. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful book for finding ways to navigate through the various personal and world challenges. It gives practical tips on how to work with body problems, organizational and world difficulties. It also inspires one to be able to follow the deep inner dreaming and knowing within, and to trust one's own unique path in life. You will be able to use is book as a guide to get through various challenges and go back to it over and over again for new insights, because it addresses so many helpful ways of relating to oneself and the world.

And I wish this book would come together in one batch with the other two books that I recently ordered, as I am not in a rush.

A life-changing book on conflictIt’s really an amazing book that I couldn’t stop reading. It reminds us how we contribute to conflict and war when we forget diversity and rank issues. It helps us to connect world conflicts with conflicts on a personal level, with our dreams and body symptoms. To study how our body is the greater and most trustworthy teacher and how to access it’s wisdom as a conflict resolution dream guide. The book offers insights and tools as well as specific exercises for how to deal with conflict and obstacles. That whoever likes us or doesn’t like us is also part of us. This means we need their energy.The book helped me to reconnect with my personal vision in the midst of a really challenging time in Greek politics. It taught me that one of the most impactful intervention is to be transparent .I am deeply grateful to Arny Mindell for this book and for all his work.Vassiliki Katrivanoutherapist, ex. member of the Greek Parliament and the Council of Europe (2012-2016).

The book is packed with theoretical as well as instrumental and practical knowledge informing and deepening any kind of professional practice as well as personal growth and self awareness. Especially recommended for people who try to integrate holistic and spiritual aspects of caring into their therapeutic or any other relationships.

Excellent
