What if conflicts at home, conflicts at work, and conflicts in the world stem fr
om the same root cause? And what if individually and collectively we systematica
lly misunderstand that cause, and unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we th
ink we are trying to solve?
Through an intriguing story of parents struggling w
ith their troubled children and with their own personal problems, ""The Anatomy
of Peace"" shows how to get past the preconceived ideas and self-justifying reac
tions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively
. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the han
ds of the other's ethnic cousins. As the story unfolds, we discover how they cam
e together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how
we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down. The choice bet
ween peace and war lies within us. As one of the characters says, ""A solution t
o the inner war solves the outer war as well."" This book offers more than hope
-- it shows how we can prevent the conflicts that cause so much pain in our live
s and in the world.
