Breaking It Down and Connecting the Dots: Creating Common Ground Where Contention Rules

In this book of compact essays, Peter Altschul, MS, explores topics ranging from psychology, sports, and diversity to family life, politics, and Christianity. Peruse this book and you'll find personal stories, political analysis, and satire. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll think. You might find connections you've never seen before and common ground where you think none is possible. And perhaps you'll be influenced to behave a little differently in order to make things a little--or a lot--better.

Peter Altschul, MS, assists groups and organizations to become better at influencing people, resolving conflicts, managing diversity, and planning for the future. A published author and composer, he lives with his guide dog, Heath, in Columbia, Missouri.
