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 June 26, 2025 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, via Zoom.
The book will be “The Anatomy of Peace ” by The Arbinger Institute
What if conflicts at home, at work, and in the world stem from the same root cause? What if we systematically misunderstand that cause? And what if, as a result, we unwittingly perpetuate the very problems we think we are trying to solve?
The Anatomy of Peace uses a fictional story of an Arab and a Jew—both of whom lost their fathers at the hands of the other’s cousins—to powerfully show readers the way to transform conflict. We learn how they come together, how they help parents and children come together, and how we too can find our way out of the personal, professional, and social conflicts that weigh us down.
The fourth edition includes revisions and new materials and resources that increase its relevance and usefulness at a time of deeply entrenched divisions throughout society. Additionally, it includes new detailed discussions of the pattern of dehumanization that lies at the heart of today’s most pressing struggles with prejudice and discrimination—challenges that cannot be solved until the origins of bias and discrimination are properly understood and addressed. The new edition is a unique and vital resource for combatting racism and prejudice in their many manifestations.
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!
