In her first book, Everything Is Workable: A Zen Approach to Conflict Resolution (Shambhala Publications), Diane Hamilton distills years of experience into a skill set for engaging and resolving conflict with wisdom and compassion.
Diane, who is a long-time practitioner of meditation, and a Zen priest says, “In spite of practicing meditation, mindfulness, or other spiritual disciplines, most people regularly experience conflict in their lives - and have to deal with it.” She suggests that for real success in relationships, everyone needs to develop conflict resolution skills and cultivate social intelligence through practice and awareness.
Everything Is Workable: A Zen Approach to Conflict Resolution is an exploration of conflict resolution as an evolving life and spiritual practice.
Everything Is Workable gives readers the tools they need for dynamic, vital, and effective relationships, both personal and professional. Diane Musho Hamilton draws on her years of experience as a professional mediator, Zen practitioner, and student of Ken Wilber’s Integral Philosophy to present a spiritual approach to conflict resolution, providing teachings along with practices and exercises that can be applied to any sort of relationship in which conflict is a factor.
