Solving Tough Problems An Open Way of Talking, Listening, and Creating New Realities

Tough problems usually don't get solved peacefully. Either a stalemate occurs, or the person or groups with power--authority, money, guns--impose their solutions. But there are other ways. In Solving Tough Problems, Kahane explains why our ordinary ways of solving problems--expert-driven, piecemeal and best practice--cannot work for solving the complex problems we increasingly face, and demonstrates the methods that actually work."This breakthrough book addresses the central challenge of our time: finding a way to work together to solve the problems we have created." (Nelson Mandela)
