如果你：害怕面对冲突场景，甚至可能会因此产生生理不适；容易对事情的发展后果过度想象，产生畏惧心理；习惯性妥协，信奉“算了吧，忍一时分平浪静”。如果对方：容易在激动中“上头”，丧失理智甚至输出指责；总是把问题扩大、升级，无法真正做到就事论事；势必要和你分出胜负，甚至罔顾逻辑、强词夺理。醒醒吧：一遇到“冲突”就“宕机”；“逃避”“装死”“不服就干”都不能解决问题。正确的解决方式可以让冲突成为新的转机。面对冲突，你是习惯隐藏自己的想法对他人进行妥协，还是勇于面对挑衅，大胆主张自己的权益？宜人性和攻击性并不对立，你可以在更融洽的氛围中，以一种对方也能接受的方式捍卫自己的权益。本书作者结合自己多年的理论研究和实践经验，总结出一套可复制的冲突应对方法——让我们被攻击或者正在冲突的沼泽中泥足深陷时，能够尽快自救，并与对方成为朋友、达成共识，让我们能更自信、更健康地生活下去。【作者简介】彼得·柏格西昂德克薩斯州奧斯丁分校的研究員和美國國家教學中心研究員，波特蘭州立大學哲學系全職教員，理查·道金斯理性與科學基金會...
