William Ury is one of the world’s most respected negotiators and mediators.
Katia got to know him as a fellow at the Harvard Program on Negotiation, and his work has been an inspiration ever since. In Possible, he draws on nearly five decades of experience on the frontlines of some of the world’s toughest conflicts to offer a new way of seeing. Not as an optimist, not as a pessimist, but as a possibilist. Part memoir, part manual, part manifesto, this book gives you both the mindset and the tools to turn any conflict into an opportunity.
The world needs more conflict, not less. Conflict, in fact, can be perfectly healthy. The best decisions result not from a superficial consensus but from surfacing different points of view and searching for creative solutions.
William Ury
Why this book is a must read…
From the guru of win-win negotiations comes this wonderful new book. Ury shows us how to use the impossible -our seemingly intractable conflicts- to create the possible. Like me, he is a great believer in our potential to transform ourselves, our relationships, and the world we live in. And he provides the tools for us to do so.
Carol Dweck, author of Mindset
