Conflicts in life, work, and even society often begin with an attachment to one's own position.
When people refuse to give in to one another, emotions continue to expand, facts become obscured, and other voices slowly disappear. What begins as disagreement gradually turns into deadlock.
This book proposes a way forward: three positions.
Rather than silencing yourself or surrendering to others, Three Positions teaches you how to calmly stand in a neutral position-a place where facts can be seen clearly and truth can emerge without fear. From there, you learn to enter opposing positions, not to fight them, but to understand the hidden fears, needs, and demands beneath the surface.
Like surfing, movement matters.
By shifting fluidly between the three positions, confrontation can transform into reconciliation, and tension can give rise to creativity.
In families, conflict between partners can evolve into mutual understanding.
In workplaces, managers and employees can rediscover common interests.
In society, division itself can become an opportunity for new consensus and new systems to be born.
In conflict, the seeds of harmony are often already present.
What allows them to grow is not patience or silence-but the courage to stand on facts, protect one's rights, and truly listen to the voices of others.
This book is dedicated to all those who wish to transcend anger and division-
and to those who seek a shared future.
