Everything Is Workable

A Zen Approach to Conflict Resolution

By: Diane Musho Hamilton

Narrated by: Diane Musho Hamilton

Conflict is going to be part of your life--as long as you have relationships, hold down a job, or have dry cleaning to be picked up. Bracing yourself against it won't make it go away, but if you approach it consciously, you can navigate it in a way that not only honors everyone involved but makes it a source of deep insight as well. Seasoned mediator Diane Hamilton provides the skill set you need to engage conflict with wisdom and compassion, and even--sometimes--to be grateful for it. She teaches how to:

Cultivate the mirror-like quality of attention as your base

Identify the three personal conflict styles and determine which one you fall into

Recognize the three fundamental perspectives in any conflict situation and learn to inhabit each of them

Turn conflicts in families, at work, and in every kind of interpersonal relationship into win-win situations

A treasure; thank you!

I enjoyed listening to Diane’s Everything is Workable so much. I found her observations and insights so very helpful to my practice and for dealing with conflict in my life. I am sure I will again tap into this wonderful resource for living my life. Thank you.

Loved it so much....

.... I bought the print version. I know I will be going back to this book, over and over again.

I never thought there was so much life and creativity in a conflict!!!

I’ve always feared conflict... the mear reference to this word would make me tremble... accommodation was my way of living and I was not aware of that... through Diane Musho Hamilton ‘s narrative, I could see my own self through a more comprehensive and inclusive perspective that totally shifted my experience. I highly recommend this book if you, just like me, are looking for ways to integrate the learnings of a conflict situation that seems not workable to you at this moment. I found at the end of this reading that, as its’ author suggests, everything is workable! Thank you Diane Musho Hamilton for this enlightening journey you lead me through! Namaste!

A Treasure Trove

What an amazing book. A treasure trove of wisdom. Got to the end and can’t wait to read it again. Diane’s wisdom is remarkable. This book will not only be invaluable to me professionally as a coach and consultant but also in resolving the inevitable conflicts in my own life.

Calm and collected voice, many ideas to work with

I liked it a lot. Tje first time I heard about Diane was in a podcast she was in wuth Sam Harris. The way with which she paraded some of his, st times, suggestive questioning style, was brilliant. Not like a fight, more like a dance or Aikido, not giving a way a position, but to open the space for different view points.
