The New Middle: Connecting Heart and Mind to Collaboratively Disagree - Hardcover

by Bryant Galindo (Author)

At twenty-six, Bryant Galindo had a near-death experience. This set him on a journey to change every aspect of himself, especially how to communicate with the heart during periods of disagreement.

Both a conflict-resolution book and a memoir, The New Middle: Connecting Heart and Mind to Collaboratively Disagree sits at the crossroads between theory, personal experience, and spirituality. It presents a raw exploration on what it means to change how we react and communicate to stimulate more heart-mind connections during difficult conversations.

With our world more divided than ever before, we all need to learn new ways of speaking that help bridge our differences. When interacting in the workplace, in everyday life, or even while having political conversations, our fears and habitual patterns of stress seem to dominate. The New Middle reframes what is possible when we walk away from the drama and dysfunction of disagreement and instead move toward connected and collaborative conversations that create new, empathetic win-win possibilities.

When the heart and mind are balanced, we can co-create a New Middle with the people we disagree with, paving the way to more harmonious, connected relationships and world!
