The fight you’re inis not the problem.
You’ve tried therapy, lawyers and hours of research, and you’re still in the same fight. Steven Corn spent thirty years finding what’s underneath conflict, first in music-industry deals, then in mediation.
In Beyond the Argument he lays out the method: separate the position from the interest, ask the Five Whys, hear what anger is actually saying, and reframe without manipulation, with cases from families, workplaces, the music business, neighbors and friends.
Six chapters.
The Dispute Stack
The Five Whys
What Anger Is Actually Saying
The Story You Are Telling Yourself
