ISBN: 9781453717202 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history, human beings have sought dominance over one another according to a win-lose worldview - to win, the other party must lose. According to author Snelson, another form of conflict resolution is not just possible but necessary to avoid ultimate destruction. Based on the understanding that cultural paradigms, not human nature, are responsible for our ongoing faith-based conflicts, Snelson offers an analysis of these paradigms and how to shift them.
