In this Dartmouth Alumni Magazine article, Kevin Nance reviews Conflict Resilience by Robert C. Bordone and Dr. Joel Salinas, praising it as a timely, accessible guide to engaging constructively with conflict rather than avoiding it. Drawing from negotiation practice and neuroscience, the authors propose a three-step framework for navigating disagreements with empathy and courage, even when resolution isn’t guaranteed. The review also raises questions about applying the book’s tools when one party isn’t acting in good faith.
