<p>“Peter Adler brings his unique and vast experience to a vexing challenge in today's landscape—how can we foster more cooperation and collaboration in an environment dominated by ideological and partisan divides. Through carefully selected vignettes and historical examples, he explores the tactics and techniques essential to being a positive leader in today's demanding environment. He covers this material with incredible insight and inspiration. This is a must-read for anyone interested in good government.”</p>

<p>“<i>Calming the Storm</i> offers an amazing collection of wisdom and anecdotes revealing Peter Adler’s deep experience in the conflict resolution and consensus building field. I often found several things delightfully new that I didn’t know on practically every page of this book. For people who are new to the field, the treasures here are even more abundant. This book is unlike any other book in the field: it is useful, but at the same time, it is just plain fun!” </p>
