Have you wanted to explore more ADR-related books? Would you like a group to discuss ADR ideas, thoughts and skills with?
UCCR invites you to join us in exploring informative books in our common genre.
The next meeting of the UCCR Book Club will be September 19, 2024 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, via Zoom.
The book will be “De-Escalate” by Douglas E. Noll
Written by award-winning author, highly experienced mediator, and co-founder of the Prison of Peace project, Douglas E. Noll, De-Escalate gives you the proven process to calm any angry person or volatile situation in 90 seconds or less.
Based on the practical experience of a master mediator and grounded in the latest findings in neuroscience, Douglas Noll offers his proven process—to empower you to successfully and efficiently de-escalate an angry person or volatile situation in 90 seconds or less—and how to apply this skill in all areas of life.
We live in a more socially polarized time nationally and globally than ever before, as arguments easily flare up, aggression and bullying rises, and lines are drawn over politics, religion, and ideology. De-Escalate provides a new set of social listening and communication skills that solve the problem of what to do with angry, emotional people.
The quick and effective techniques detailed in De-Escalate will help anyone dealing with this increase in anger from outside sources or anger in themselves. With simple, easy-to-understand steps, De-Escalate walks you through real-life examples and scenario-based conversations in order to create resolutions, build emotional intelligence, and cultivate empathy and healing. This book will teach the precise tools to master becoming a peacemaker, cultivating ways to co-exist and co-respect others in an increasingly hostile world.
Following the meeting, those in attendance will choose the next UCCR Book Club book. Our plan is to hold four book club meetings per year.
The UCCR Book Club is not intended for CLE or Court Roster credit, but will provide members the opportunity to virtually meet and share in great discussions!
