@jwolf, In "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", written by Deepak Chopra, he talks about the Law of Least Effort. In this law it has attributes, taking responsibility and defenselessness. This law alone can solve many communication conflicts. Responsibility says that you should not blame anyone for your situations, not even yourself. It's pointless to focus on that. The defenselessness is all about giving up your opinion and trying to detach yourself from that identity with your idea. You are not your ideas.

Check out the rest of the laws in his book, really a phenomenal read!
