The Art of Fighting
A paradigm-shattering exploration of how we disagree and how to do it more effectively.
A groundbreaking exploration of how we fight and how we build healthy conflict, from the author of The Art of Gathering.
We say we want community. Successful teams, dynamic friend groups, and high-performing colleagues. Yet, many of us don't understand the crucial element we need to forge long-lasting communitiesβhealthy conflict.
Although most of us fear conflict, fighting can be an opportunity to broaden our perspectives, reach new breakthroughs, and bring us even closer together. The Art of Fighting teaches the transformative art of 'healthy heat' and how it can help us overcome any disagreementβfrom book club squabbles to boardroom brawls.
Priya Parker draws on her original research, real-world examples, and her far-reaching experience to offer an authoritative and expansive guide to the challenges, nuances, and endless opportunities of conflict.
