Everywhere we look, conflict seems to be around us. Clearly in the political realm, but also the religious world and our own personal space too. Author Amanda Ripley claims that conflict that is healthy is both good but necessary, but far too often falls victim to the emotional and ideological context surrounding it.
On today's episode of Maybe I'm Amazed, host James Howell sits down with Amanda to talk about her new book High Conflict, and the ways in which miscommunication can lead to volatile situations. Ripley speaks about how the emotions experiences of both criminals and CEOs are remarkably similar, showing the effects of constant conflict on a person. Ripley also talks about what emotion she calls the "nuclear bomb" of human emotions.
