How do good people lose their minds in soul-crushing conflicts with co-workers, neighbors, grown siblings or even national politicians they’ve never met?

Amanda Ripley is a New York Times bestselling author, a Washington Post contributing columnist, and the co-founder of Good Conflict, a media and training company that helps people reimagine conflict.
