High Conflict

High Conflict

By Amanda Ripley

When we are baffled by the insanity of the “other side”—in our politics, at work, or at home—it’s because we aren’t seeing how the conflict itself has taken over.That’s what “high conflict” does. It’s the invisible hand of our time. And it’s different from the useful friction of healthy conflict. That’s good conflict, and it’s a necessary force that pushes us to be better people.High conflict is what happens when discord distills into a good-versus-evil kind of feud, the kind with an us and a them. In this state, the brain behaves differently. We feel increasingly certain of our own superiority, and everything we do to try to end the conflict, usually makes it worse. Eventually, we can start to mimic the behavior of our adversaries, harming what we hold most dear.In this “compulsively readable” (Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author) book, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates how good people get captured by high conflict—and how they break free.Our journey begins in California, where a world-renowned conflict expert struggles to extract himself from a political feud. Then we meet a Chicago gang leader who dedicates his life to a vendetta—only to realize, years later, that the story he’d told himself about the conflict was not quite true. Next, we travel to Colombia, to find out whether thousands of people can be nudged out of high conflict at scale. Finally, we return to America to see what happens when a group of liberal Manhattan Jews and conservative Michigan corrections officers choose to stay in each other’s homes in order to understand one another better, even as they continue to disagree.All these people, in dramatically different situations, were drawn into high conflict by similar forces, including conflict entrepreneurs, humiliation, and false binaries. But ultimately, all of them found ways to transform high conflict into good conflict, the kind that made them better people. They rehumanized and recatego­rized their opponents, and they revived curiosity and wonder, even as they continued to fight for what they knew was right.People do escape high conflict. Individuals—even entire communities—can short-circuit the feedback loops of outrage and blame, if they want to. This is an “insightful and enthralling” (The New York Times Book Review) book—and a mind-opening new way to think about conflict that will transform how we move through the world.

The Enchiridion (Greek for “handbook”) is the most famous and widely read work attributed to the ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus. Attributed, because none of Epictetus’ personal writings have survived to-date; the record of his teachings that we have descends to us through his student Arrian, who took it upon himself to record his lectures and sayings in a series of books which he called the Discourses of Epictetus. Some time later, he distilled the spirit of Epictetus’ teachings into this shorter text, which is widely regarded as the most elegant and comprehensible rendition of the Stoic philosophy that was ever produced in antiquity.

The Law of Attraction is Only a Stepping StoneThe law of attraction is a wonderful thing for many reasons. First, it shows us that we are responsible for our own lives and that we can create our lives through conscious choice. Many people in this world feel like they are victims who are at the mercy of outside forces beyond their control. Learning about the law of attraction is empowering for these people and is surely a huge step forward in their personal evolution. For this reason, I am very happy that more and more people are being made aware of this universal law.In this short guide, however, I am going to teach you things that go beyond the law of attraction, because I believe it is very important for us all to continue to evolve to higher and higher levels of spiritual awareness. Working with the law of attraction is helpful at a certain point in our lives. It gives us a newfound sense of power and freedom, but what I am about to share with you will take you beyond those feelings into a much more satisfying place.Enjoy learning :)

Two weeks. No strings.  With Adam Callaway I thought I’d found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights. There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn’t be satisfied with just sex.  My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in.  I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.
