The Enemy is Never Wrong

<p>You probably remember how it went when you were a kid. If your family was typical your mother said don't fight but your father said don't lose. And that was the end of it.</p><p>With all due respect to Mom and Dad this simplistic advice is little help in a hyper-complex world that's teetering on the edge of social and ecological collapse. Conflict is inevitable but rarely do we teach it in any intentional way. </p><p>But a sense of martial artistry is essential to our survival. Gripped by confusion fear and outrage we feel the need to act but we don't even know the fundamentals: what to fight who to fight when to fight how to fight or  why to fight. Awkward and impulsive we're ineffective and even worse a threat to ourselves and others. </p><p><em>The Enemy is Never Wrong </em>is a book about radical realism and adaptability. It's about understanding the world thinking clearly navigating complexity and exercising skill in the face of escalating stress and ambiguity. If you're a human animal with an interest in creating a functional world this book is for you.</p>
