Description: Book Discussion Group
Facilitator: Val Holzman
Date/Time: Third Monday of the Month (except July, August and December) 1:30pm Monday

On Monday, May 20th, at 1:30 pm, the group will discuss High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out by Amanda Ripley (Leadership Development). Bestselling author and award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates how good people get captured by emotionally unhealthy, over-the-top conflict and how they break free. Ripley begins by exploring real-world examples of such conflict, from political feuds to gang warfare and personal vendettas, then dissects how those involved dismantled the stakes and transformed high conflict into something good. As the book asserts, people can and do escape high conflict. Individuals and entire communities can short-circuit the feedback loops of out
rage and blame if they want to. The group meets in The Bernice Nailen Memorial Library. All are welcome.
