The author of the world’s best-selling book on negotiation draws
on his nearly fifty years of experience and knowledge grappling
with the world’s toughest conflicts to offer a way out of the
seemingly impossible problems of our time. Conflict is increasing
everywhere, threatening everything we hold dear—from our families
to our democracy, from our workplaces to our world. In nearly
every area of society, we are fighting more and collaborating less,
especially over crucial problems that demand solutions. With this
groundbreaking book, bestselling author and international
negotiator William Ury shares a new “path to
possible”—time-tested practices that will help readers unlock
their power to constructively engage and transform conflict. Part
memoir, part manual, part manifesto, Possible offers stories and
sage advice from Ury’s nearly 50 years of experience on the front
lines of some of the world’s toughest conflicts. One of the
world’s top experts in the field, Ury has worked on conflicts
ranging from boardroom battles to labor strikes, from the US
partisan divide to family feuds, from wars in the Middle East,
Colombia and Ukraine to helping the US and USSR avoid nuclear
disaster. Now, in Possible, he helps us tackle the seemingly
intransigent problems facing us. In Possible, Ury argues conflict
is natural. In fact, we need more conflict, not less—if we are to
grow, change, evolve and solve our problems creatively. While
we may not be able to end conflict, we can transform
it—unleashing new, unexpected possibilities. Successfully tested
at Harvard University with almost a thousand participants from
business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector, Ury’s
“Path to Possible” proved so valuable that Harvard’s Program
on Negotiation selected it as its inaugural online daylong in April
2022. Possible introduces Ury’s methods and makes them available
for everyone. Combining accessible frameworks and powerful
storytelling and offering dozens of examples, it is an essential
guide for anyone looking to break through the toughest
conflicts—in their workplace, family, community or the world.
