The Anatomy of Peace

Resolving the Heart of Conflict

Blanca González Villegas

The Arbinger Institute

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.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money - That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not

C.P.A. Sharon L. Lechter

Robert Kiyosaki

The book tells the story of Robert Kiyosaki's two fathers: his 'poor dad,' a highly educated but fiscally poor man, and his 'rich dad,' the father of his best friend who was a successful entrepreneur. It emphasizes the importance of financial education, distinguishing between assets and liabilities, and building wealth through investing in assets such as real estate and businesses. Kiyosaki argues that a good education and a secure job are not guarantees for financial success and provides practical lessons on how to make money work for you rather than working for money.
