Making Peace Last

Beyond Intractability

Understand the Stakes

Overcome the Cynicism Barrier Learning curve with and without the cap Cynicism Barrier

Tackle the Tough Problems Don’t fall for the “Lost Key” Syndrome Don’t just look for solutions in the easy “bright” places, look for them in the “dark” hard places where many solutions lie.

Understand the Big Picture Think Systemically

Specialize You Are Here

Think Strategically Focus 1 st on Realistic Win-Win Opportunities OR at least Mostly Win-Win Opportunities Win / Win

Focus on Incremental Improvements Pursue the Medical, Pathology Treatment Model Not a fruitless search for grand, utopian solutions

Think Long-Term There is no quick, “Polio- vaccine” type solution We need something more like a decades-long “war on cancer”
