The Zen of You and Me: A Guide to Getting Along with Just About Anyone

How to deal with interpersonal conflict–from a Zen perspective.

The people who get under your skin the most can in fact be your greatest teachers.  It’s not a matter of overlooking  differences, as is often taught, but of regarding those difficult aspects of the relationship  with curiosity and compassion–for those very differences  offer a path to profound connection. Diane Hamilton’s practical, reality-based guide to living harmoniously with even your most irritating fellow humans—spouses, partners, colleagues, parents, children–shows that “getting along” is really a matter of discovering that our differences are nothing other than an expression of our even deeper shared unity.
