About The Art of Fighting:
We say we want community. Successful teams. High-performing colleagues and workplaces. Dynamic friend groups. Yet many of us don’t understand the crucial element we need to forge long-lasting communities in our lives: healthy conflict.
In The Art of Fighting, Priya Parker explains that we can’t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don’t fight. All groups change and evolve; indeed, it’s because people disagree that good groups flourish.
As she did in The Art of Gathering, Parker draws on her experience, research, and real-world examples to show how people can identify disputes, address them, and decide what to do when they can’t be resolved. Conflict is a part of life, and understanding it is more important than ever.
