My dear friend Bill Ury recently spoke at a TEDx event about his concept of the third side.
Bill is an anthropologist who set out to find a ways to achieve world peace. In the process, he learned it was all about how we communicate - more specifically, how we negotiate. In the process he became one of the most soughtafter negoriators in the world - working for large corporations and governments. He's been involved in almost every peace negotiation you can think of yet he remains humble and human.
Take time to listen to Bill's talk and support his not-for-profit - Abraham Path.
If you're interested in more from Bill, check out his books: Getting To Yes and Power of A Positive No.

I'm not sure the courts and legal profession can ever strengthen and heal marriages. It comes down to two people wanting to make the effort to stay together. Beyond that, no one nor any legislation can prevent divorce or strengthen marriage...

I love the story of the poison arrows too. In many work places it's not a case of "hiding" them while debate rages, it's a case of "finding" them ... unfortunately!

As an individual, it is easy to say yes than to say no. Refusal connotes that word no. But this video is indeed a worthwhile experience to watch. This is interesting and very innovative. I like the entire idea and most of the entire persuasive attempt means a lot. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. More power and keep up the good work.
