The Zen of You and Me A Guide to Getting Along with Just About Anyone

This approachable guide conflict resolution offers practical advice on how to manage difficult conversations and foster healthier relationships—the Zen way

The people who get under your skin the most can in fact be your greatest teachers.  It’s not a matter of overlooking differences, as is often taught, but of regarding those difficult aspects of the relationship with curiosity and compassion—for those very differences offer a path to profound connection. 
 
Diane Hamilton’s practical, reality-based guide to living harmoniously with even your most irritating fellow humans—spouses, partners, colleagues, parents, children—shows that “getting along” is really a matter of discovering that our differences are nothing other than an expression of our even deeper shared unity.
