"An outstanding, heart opening, in-depth look at how our perceptions create conflict, and what to do about it to find peace. A truly illuminating book. Read it."

"Much been written about dispute resolution, much that explores the world around us, and much that seeks insight from within, but little that reveals the deep, invisible connections between them. In this voyage of discovery, Henry Yampolsky invites us to explore all three, and the lines that connect them. He describes his own journey, offers practical advice, reveals the wisdom that links the world within to the world without, and calls attention to what will happen if we continue along the conflicted paths that divide us. It is a call - not only to action, but to insight, and the transformational path of dispute resolution. It is a terrific read -- honest, touching, useful, and inspiring."

"Drawing on wisdom from both East and West - from meditation and yoga to social psychology and social justice movements - Henry Yampolsky makes a compelling case for the value of self-awareness and contemplative practice as critical tools for dispute resolvers who wish to respond skillfully and compassionately to people enmeshed in conflict."

"Thank you Henry, I found myself integrating the book into my life/relations as I was reading it, such was the profoundly clear explanation you deliver. How to resolve conflict within is a must have skill for all humans interested in peace on any level."

"Drawing upon a wealth of collective knowledge and wisdom--and grounded and affirmed by his own life experiences--Yampolsky reminds us of the power we hold, individually and collectively, to transform the way we deal with conflict. This thoughtful and cutting-edge book both presents and simultaneously unravels a paradox: by turning inside ourselves, we can better understand the world outside of ourselves and bring peace to both. Rather than tolerating or avoiding the inevitable conflicts in our lives, Dis-Solving Conflict From Within encourages and demonstrates how mindfulness and embracing conflict is a prerequisite to transformation."

Shawn DunningFormer Global Director of Leadership & Training, Search for Common Ground, Founder of Shawn M. Dunning Consulting

"With this book Henry Yampolsky offers a stunningly generous gift, one that in turn becomes a gift to others. The stops on his own journey to wisdom—not a far-off destination, but one that he shows dwells in possibility within each of us—are brought to bear on the formulation of a powerful tool for use any time we are at odds with each other. Dis-Solving Conflict from Within represents a detailed map for learning to observe and listen, respond rather than react, and finally escape the prison of our own stories. Like Dorothy's Kansas, the power to arrive has been inside us all along."
