Enjoy these fascinating stories of how real people dealt with conflict situations in unusual and creative ways. Many bring tears to the eyes as they open our hearts and bring us a deeper appreciation for what is possible. The solutions each person finds are unique — no two are exactly the same — so they keep us on the edge of our seats through the last story. There are no recipes, no set of steps — just raw experience as it unfolded, how each person came face-to-face with a challenge and found a way to meet it.Some of the stories are intensely moving, some funny, some startling or surprising. Some are in ordinary circumstances much like we all face — a ranch, a local restaurant, or a back yard. Others take place between people in dark alleys, on a psych ward, in a jail, or in the midst of international conflict or war. Includes stories from Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunis, Marshall Rosenberg (founder of Nonviolent Communication), Colonel Christopher Hughes, and Milton H. Erickson, plus people like you and I.
