Publisher Description

Through an intriguing story of parents struggling with their troubled children and with their own personal problems, The Anatomy of Peace shows how to get past the preconceived ideas and self-justifying reactions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively.

Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the other's ethnic cousins. As the story unfolds, we discover how they came together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down.

The choice between peace and war lies within us. As one of the characters says, A solution to the inner war solves the outer war as well. This book offers more than hope - it shows how we can prevent the conflicts that cause so much pain in our lives and in the world.

"This is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. It delves so deeply into the nature of how our choices in relation to others affect the way we view them, the rest of the world, and ourselves. It helps one to identify the way in which wrong choices causes us to need to justify our actions, which then changes our perceptions. It deals with resolving conflict, and how to affect changes in others the right way. I love it, and will read it again."

    " I feel a bit odd giving it a 3 when everyone else seems to adore this book. It was...realtively enjoyable, I learned some things, but I feel like I kinda already have a peaceful life sans strife, so I didn;t feel the need to voraciously absorb everything I could. Probably helpful for people who don't think much, and would like someone else to think for them. :) "

    " This book speaks of truths we know and may have learned but organizes it in a way we can apply it to ourselves and our relationships with others at home; souse, children or at the work place, and community, essentially anyone. I would recommend it to everyone. I don't think there is a person that would not benefit form this book in there relationships. "

    " Yet another book club book that I just read. It's basically a secular look at pride and I have to say that I enjoyed the secular perspective and the deconstruction. I learned a couple things and it definitely gave me somethings to think about. I was intrigued by the backdrop of the Israeli/Arab conflict and the story of Saladin at the beginning. I skipped most of the tables and graphs. "

    " I could definately relate when my heart was at war but I couldn't really place myself in a box or really understand how to get out from their perspective. for me when my "heart is at war" sometimes I just need a good nights sleep or a piece of chocolate and quiet time. anway I liked the book itself and writing style.

    " I do not enjoy self-help books so I was not looking forward to reading this book. I actually really enjoyed the book. It is written in a story format. I did tire of the endless lists of important points. But I learned things that I have already applied to my life. "

    " This might have been a good book if it had been non-fiction. Horrible attempt at plot and character to thinly disguise an instructional book. I love the institution that produced this and their philosophies. Lousy book, though. "

    " This is a great read. It is built on the same "theory" as Leadership and Self Deception. I think I enjoyed this one better just because of the characters and situation. It also had some added info at the end that was really good. But, I won't spoil that for those of you who haven't read it. "
