Conflict is increasing everywhere, threatening everything we hold dear. With this groundbreaking book, bestselling author and international negotiator William Ury shares a new “path to possible” — time-tested practices that will help readers unlock their power to constructively engage and transform conflict. Part memoir, part manual, part manifesto, Possible offers stories and sage advice from Ury’s nearly 50 years of experience on the front lines of some of the world’s toughest conflicts. One of the world’s top experts in the field, Ury has worked on conflicts ranging from boardroom battles to labor strikes, from the U.S. partisan divide to family feuds, from wars in the Middle East, Colombia and Ukraine to helping the U.S. and USSR avoid nuclear disaster. Now, in Possible, he helps us tackle the seemingly intransigent problems facing us.
