In The Art of Fighting\, Priya Pa rker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relationships w ithout a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that goo d groups don&rsquo\;t fight. All groups change and evolve\; indeed\, it&rs quo\;s because people disagree that good groups flourish.
\nAs she d id in the now-classic < em>The Art of Gathering\, Parker draws on her far-reaching experi ence as a conflict facilitator\, her own detailed research\, and real-worl d examples to lay out the ways that people can identify disputes\, determi ne how to address them\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whethe r people disagree in the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playground or in church\, online or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and unders tanding healthy conflict and how to harness its power is more important th an ever. The Art of Fighting is a vital primer to help all of us understand how to do that.
