I Hate Conflict!: Seven Steps to Resolving Differences with Anyone in Your Life Review
It’s the rare person who relishes conflict. Most of us live our lives either avoiding it, which never works for long, or expressing it in counter-productive ways. Even those of us who deal with conflict on a professional basis—I’m a divorce lawyer and mediator—are not immune to the physical and emotional toll that it can take on us (not to mention on our clients). With that in mind, I’m happy to report that Lee Raffel’s new book, “I Hate Conflict!”, is a useful, accessible, and unthreatening approach to a subject that most people dread. Drawing on a lifetime of hard-earned lessons (including an abusive first marriage), and a long career as a social worker and marriage counselor, Ms. Raffel looks at conflict from a variety of angles, but always with a view to offering sensible advice and real-world solutions. My guess is that she’s an excellent therapist, because she has a client-centered approach that comes through loud and clear. The reader feels that he’s in the same room with her, engaged in conversation with a wise and caring counselor, a counselor who knocks herself out to make her clients’ lives more satisfying and less stressful. I recommend the book.
