Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The first part of The Mindful Guide to Conflict Resolution focuses on why difficult conversations are so difficult. People often focus on themselves or on the other person, but neither of those approaches is ultimately successful. You will learn how to connect with both yourself and the other party.#2 The chapter focuses on how to bring a mindful approach to handling difficult conversations and conflicts. These difficult conversations scare you, challenge you, and you try to avoid them. But with mindfulness, you can approach them more productively and constructively.#3 Mindfulness is a way of living in the present moment that is based on ancient Buddhist teachings. It helps you focus on finding a positive way forward instead of getting bogged down in all the other noise in your head that’s leading you in unhelpful directions.#4 The term other person is used to describe what you otherwise might call your opponent. The word opponent sounds overly harsh and implies you are on opposing ends of a situation. This is not always the case, however, and mindfulness recognizes this.
