Description

Is another world war inevitable? The answer is a resounding "yes" if we continue to think in terms of "either/or" outcomes.

Adversaries think in such terms, you either get what you want, or you do not.

Can a different way of thinking produce a different outcome?

This book shows that the consistency demanded by the linear, logical either/or thinking is disrupted by paradox, whose resolution forces a consequent decision: war or peace, with no middle ground.

If this were the only way of thinking then a person would be either a protagonist or an antagonist, but a person can be both, either, or neither; this opens the door to novel solutions.

This is "both/and" thinking, which the book shows can be achieved by a dynamic resolution of paradox.

Thus, a basically selfish individual can also be a hero; a consequence of the complexity of being human.
