A Bit of Optimism

Peace Is A Process with negotiation expert William Ury

42 min • 29 oktober 2024

Peace is a process, not an outcome. It's a process that must begin with understanding the other side.

Few people on this planet have as much experience making peace as William Ury. William spent decades as a peace negotiator, resolving the world's most intractable conflicts — from avoiding nuclear catastrophe in the Cold War to mediating ethnic tensions and civil wars. Considered one of the world's pre-eminent negotiation experts, he's written several books on the subject, including the best-selling Getting To Yes. His latest book is titled Possible

I sat down with William to discuss the possibility of peace in an increasingly conflicted world. He shares some great stories with me from his career and what he's learned about the right way to influence others.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
