This book continues the ideas of such bestsellers as Leadership and Self-Deception and Open Thinking. It looks at the true causes of our conflicts with family, colleagues and friends. In the modern world, personal ties are thinning, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain close relationships with each other, and contradictions seem insoluble. But what if the root cause of all conflicts at home, at work, all over the world lies in the same thing? What if, as a result, we unwittingly make insoluble the very problems that we think we are trying to solve?
