How to Turn a Toxic Conflict Into a Good One
A new book explains why we get stuck in intractable conflicts and how to get out of them
We’ve all been there: Locked in a heated argument, blood pressure rising, fixated on our next point rather than actually listening to what the other person has to say. Even after it ends, it doesn’t really end we keep ruminating on it for hours, days, weeks.
This is what journalist Amanda Ripley refers to as “high conflict” and these days, we can slip into it when we’re simply scanning our social media feed or glancing at the news. It often feels like our entire country is stuck there.

New York Times: “How to Resolve a Conflict When You Hate Your Opponent’s Guts” “In the late 1970s, Jay and Lorna walked into the legal offices of Gary Friedman. After years of marriage, they had decided to call it quits. But instead of going through an adversarial process, they wanted somebody to help them disentangle their lives with as little belligerence as possible. That someone, they hoped, would be Friedman.”
CBS News: “Agree to disagree: Achieving positive outcomes from conflict” “Billy Moore was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, where growing up meant growing up too fast.”
