In \;The Art of Fighting\, Pr iya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relations hips without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or th at good groups don&rsquo\;t fight. All groups change and evolve\; indeed\, it&rsquo\;s because people disagree that good groups flourish.

\n

As she did in the now-classic \;The Art of Gathering\, Parker d raws on her far-reaching experience as a conflict facilitator\, her own de tailed research\, and real-world examples to lay out the ways that people can identify disputes\, determine how to address them\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whether people disagree in the boardroom or the l ocker room\, on a playground or in church\, online or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and understanding healthy conflict and how to harness its power is more important than ever. \;The Art of Fighting  \;is a vital primer to help all of us understand how to do that.
