High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out
Description
In this insightful exploration of conflict, Amanda Ripley examines why ordinary disagreements can escalate into destructive, seemingly inescapable battles. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and compelling stories from divided communities and individuals, she reveals how identity, polarization, and “us versus them” thinking trap us in cycles of hostility. The book also offers practical ways to recognize high conflict, interrupt its patterns, and transform confrontation into productive disagreement. Both deeply researched and accessible, it provides a hopeful guide to navigating personal, political, and social divisions.
