But learning from one's enemies, especially in these polarized times, can be a profoundly difficult task. \u003ci\u003eWorst Enemy, Best Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e integrates spiritual, cultural, and scientific methods to transform adversarial relationships into powerful learning experiences. Here mediator and corporate trainer Deidre Combs expands on the revolutionary philosophy introduced in her first book\u003ci\u003eThe Way of Conflict.\u003c\/i\u003e She suggests a cross-cultural elemental typing system -- earth, air, fire, water -- to identify and learn how best to approach the person or problem that plagues us most -- whether it's a neighbor, a brother-in-law, a new boss, or the factory's fiercest competitor. The book shows how to apply the wisdom gained from studying the opponent to any challenge, whether within one's self, with friends or family, or between companies or nations, and offers ingenious tips and techniques for learning from the enemy and converting conflict into resolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deidre Combs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1577314824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781577314820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New World Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.58w x 0.59d","brand":"Deidre Combs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072145211647,"sku":"9781577314820","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7dfd3ac-ca06-4ee9-9e76-5f244790b7a8.jpg?v=1753415910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worst-enemy-best-teacher-deidre-combs-9781577314820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
