Zusatztext "Practical! accessible! easy to read! and yet deeply rooted in science! Tim Hicks has written an extremely valuable book for conflict specialists or for anyone struggling to understand the conflicts they face in life. Starting from the premise that 'an understanding of the neural workings of the brain' will help us to better understand and intervene in conflict! Hicks walks us carefully through an understanding of essential concepts of neural science and then applies these both broadly and specifically to how we can understand what happens in conflict and how we can use this understanding in very practical ways. This is a very valuable addition to our understanding of conflict." - Bernie Mayer! conflict specialist and author"Embodied Conflict: The Neural Basis of Conflict and Communication by Tim Hicks is a well-written and thoroughly researched explanation of this new and vital area of thought for mediators and dispute resolution professionals! the best compilation of this knowledge base that I have seen." - Jim Melamed! mediator and CEO of Mediate.com"Addressing one of the important issues of our times!

At the same time! he also recognizes the psychological reality of conflict. We must realize that what are negotiating in our most intense conflicts is not just some material self-interest! but the very foundations of our identities." - Don Tucker! neuroscientist and psychologist?
