Now online: the August edition of the newsletter published by the organization offering the mediation training I most highly recommend. This month the newsletter of the Center for Understanding in Conflict includes these articles:
- The Differences Between Mediation and Collaborative Practice
- How to Loop When Someone is Aggressive or Domineering
- Notes from Norman [Fischer]
And the recommended book for the month is Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom. [Click for a post about the book.] The review:
This book examines the intersection of psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice to help us understand how our brains affect our mental states of happiness, love and wisdom. Our ability to be aware of our inner state impacts our effectiveness as professionals working with people in conflict. This book educates us about the science underlying our inner functioning and the practices that will help us to work with our inner world for the benefit of ourselves and others.
I would add that the book helps us to work with the inner world of our clients, too.
