Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflict is a practical guide to dealing with difficult conflicts and finding constructive solutions when situations appear impossible. William Ury draws on nearly five decades of experience as a negotiator and conflict-resolution specialist, combining real-world stories with practical methods for transforming confrontation into collaboration.

The book introduces Ury’s “Path to Possible” approach, including stepping back to gain perspective, creating solutions that allow all sides to benefit, and involving the wider community or a “third side.” It applies these ideas to family disagreements, workplaces, politics, international conflicts, and everyday negotiations.
