The Anatomy of Peace

The book uses a fictional narrative to explain how conflicts arise and how they can be resolved.

It introduces the concept of having a 'heart at peace' versus a 'heart at war', where a heart at peace views others as people with hopes, needs, cares, and fears, while a heart at war dehumanizes others, seeing them as objects.

The authors argue that our mindset and way of being towards others are crucial in resolving conflicts.

The book also presents the 'Peacemaking Pyramid' as a strategy for building cooperative relationships and escaping cyclical conflict.
