The Art of Conflict Resolution

"For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate."

-Margaret Hefferman

On occasion, this has invited disaster, but it has also resulted in deeper unity, profundity, and progress. This lesson unmasks the means of harnessing diversity of opinion and temperament to produce richer and more meaningful relationships and a more balanced society.
