New York Times bestselling author and award-winning investigative journalist Amanda Ripley joins us to offer up a brilliant and frame-shifting understanding of conflict — from the most distant political conflict to the most intimately personal conflict in our closest relationships — from her most recent book “High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out.”
As Amanda introduces us to compelling people in high conflict situations — somehow written more like a great novel you can’t put down — we learn how very human it is for us to let the unique dynamics of high conflict take over, and the dire consequences of doing so. Lucky for us Amanda also hands us ingenious and easy-to-implement ways out. We think this book will change your life — it did ours.
Amanda is joined by the Founder and President of The Village Square, Liz Joyner and Village Square board member, Jovita Woodrich.
