Synopsis


Are you tired of having arguments, or the same argument, over and over again?

Most of us think conflict happens because of incompatible traits or worldviews. So we create persuasive arguments—citing scientific evidence, other people’s opinions, social norms, or absolute ideas of right or wrong—trying to be right, in the hopes that when our partner sees it our way, we can create the right compromise and everything will be just fine.

We quickly find that this strategy doesn’t work and the arguments persist. What we don’t realize is that the differing behaviors we are focused on are only the most superficial parts of conflict. They are access points, not the fundamental cause. What should we do instead?

Through the Honesty Practice you’ll learn to address conflict at its root of uncertainty and then zoom out to the complete picture. You're learn to exclude nothing and include everything, even the so-called “negative emotions.” This simple process changes conflict from something to dread into an opportunity for growth that creates greater ease, happiness, and connection over time.
