DANGEROUS LOVE

BOOK ENDORSEMENTS

"We are living in a time where the world seems complicated, divided and possibly beyond repair. It's important to remember that there is hope, and hope lies in humanity. In 'Dangerous Love', Chad Ford reminds us that humanity lies within all of us, and although conflict is everywhere in today's world, we have the tools we need to overcome obstacles and to thrive. This is a fantastic, timely book that I highly recommend."
STEVE KERR Head coach of the three-time NBA World Champion Golden State Warriors
“In Dangerous Love: Transforming Fear and Conflict at Home, at Work and In the World, Chad Ford documents what is hard to fathom today, that building bridges, not walls, is the best way to prevent conflict and promote peace. He reminds us that people to people contacts are a powerful antidote to age old animosities and that so much more unites us than divides us.”
EVAN RYAN Executive Vice-President, Axios and former US Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs
"Using powerful stories and evocative examples, Chad Ford's Dangerous Love provides a roadmap for resolving the conflicts around the world and in everyday life. This is a book for everyone who wants to overcome their fear of conflict and begin living more positively."
DAN PFEIFFER Co-host of Pod Save America and former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama
“Dangerous Love provides mind altering and life changing thoughts for building bridges across the gulf of conflict that separates people in their personal, professional and communal lives. Using his years of experience in conflict resolution and powerful stories, Chad Ford lays a path for overcoming fears of conflict and moves readers to see others as fellow human beings rather than objects. And ultimately his advocacy of dangerous love guides the reader to a destination of reconnection and reconciliation.”
RON SHAPIRO Founder of the Shapiro Negotiations Institute and New York Times best-selling author of The Power of Nice: How to Negotiate So Everyone Wins
“In a world consumed by conflict, Chad Ford charts a way forward that reduces risk and drives happiness for people, communities and nations. I experienced this ethos firsthand as Chad led groups of Palestinian and Israeli girls to play basketball and, more importantly, learn about the other in his PeacePlayers' program in Jerusalem. This effort helped the next generation of Middle East leaders envision a very different and more hopeful world. Dangerous Love: Transforming Fear and Conflict at Home, at Work and In the World is a must read for all who yearn for a more peaceful tomorrow.”
R. DAVID HARDEN
Managing Director the Georgetown Strategy Group, former Director of the USAID Mission to the West Bank and Gaza
“Dangerous Love’ is a prescient and intimate look at transformative conflict solutions. Moreover, Ford provides best practices to operationalize skills applicable across the sliding scale of mundane everyday spats to some of the world’s biggest conflicts. The world could stand to love a little more dangerously right now.”
JACQUELINE ALEMANY
Reporter and author of the daily morning newsletter “Power Up” for The Washington Post
“Dangerous Love provides a clear and compelling path to bridging seemingly impossible divides in our personal and professional lives and in our world. I’ve witnessed the impact of Chad’s principles firsthand and his systems have been lifechanging for people around the world.”
R.C. BUFORD President and General Manager of the five-time NBA World Champion San Antonio Spurs
“The principles presented in Dangerous Love have become the driving philosophy in defining PeacePlayers’ core value and methodology. The book provides practical and accessible tools for transforming conflicts, whether at home, work or even between nations. I have had the opportunity to see these principles practice, transforming relationships and mindsets in the most seemingly intractable settings. A gifted storyteller, Chad bravely reveals his own vulnerabilities, inviting all of us to "turn first."
KAREN DOUBILET
Executive Director, PeacePlayers
“Professor, basketball savant, conflict resolution negotiator extraordinaire, world class author and friend, Chad Ford, provides a must-read exploration of relationships in Dangerous Love; and in doing so, provides a roadmap for all of us to forge our path to peace through our relationships with others. I invite you to read Dangerous Love with the foremost aim to challenge yourself to engage in all the relationships in your life with confidence, optimism, curiosity and vulnerability”
SCOTT O'NEIL CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils
"Stay with this book, stay with its themes and many tributaries, because it will bring healing and growth into your life and everything you do. Dangerous Love is a provocative, easily accessible, dive into the complicated world of healing and transforming relationships across many divides, filled with wisdom, stories, and anecdotes. The idea itself of 'dangerous love' is a remarkable reframing of what we must do to truly grow as human beings and positively affect the world around us."
DR. MARC GOPIN
Director of the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution at The School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University Author, Healing the Heart of Conflict.
"Dangerous Love is an engaging and inspiring guide to transforming interpersonal conflicts by living the virtues of love, mercy, truth and justice. While its approach is personalist -- and personal, its understanding of the dynamics of conflict and peacebuilding is also relevant for social and communal conflicts."
GERARD F. POWERS
Professor, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame
“This is a book to welcome and enjoy. It is an invitation to be free and to free others. Fear is gripping the imagination of too many in conflict and the solutions that could be found are hidden by the anguish of those who do not know how to see beyond. With captivating and convincing style, Chad Ford is encouraging you to find the transformations that are good for all. Read it and try it!”
DR. ANDREA BARTOLI
President, Sant’Egidio Foundation for Peace and Dialogue
