The Power of Connection
What would it be like to feel more love, trust, respect, and support from those around you and those you love?
Would you take more risks, move boldly, and feel more alive?
Lead a life you never thought possible?
The most empowering force that can propel you forward or hold you back is being seen, heard, known, understood, and even held by those around you.
Connection is the heart of life.
It’s the crucial difference between:
- Arguing with your partner about the same issues over and over again or deepening your bond with greater intimacy, friendship, and adventure for a lifetime.
- Managing your children's tantrums or raising them to be happy, resilient, and confident adults.
- Feeling anxious and isolated at work or being part of a team that prospers together inside and outside the office
Connection determines the trajectory of our lives.
Every area of connection is like a "nest" surrounding us with everything we need to take flight. We live, work, and play in these "nests" daily, at home, in business, our community, and even within ourselves. The connections we build help us thrive and become who we are and everything we are meant to be, or they can leave scars for generations, filling us with traumas, pain, and hurt that seem impossible to overcome.
So, what's the key to creating a nest of meaningful connections?
How can we build relationships that lead to lives of purpose, meaning, and awe-inspiring moments?
How can we find our greatest joy in our greatest conflicts?
It's not in another book, course, or seminar. . .
It's in our experience.
We need to experience healthy, loving connections to form our own.
Dr. Dan shows us how.

THE JOY OF CONFLICT BY DR. DAN THOMSEN
Does the thought of confrontation make your stomach churn? Or are you spoiling for a fight? Or somewhere in between? Wherever you stand, conflict is never easy. In his latest book, Dr. Dan Thomsen shows us that conflict, far from being a source of discomfort, is a necessary catalyst for finding our greatest joy.
With gravitas and unvarnished honesty, Dr. Dan challenges everything we think and know about conflict:
- How to do it.
- How to survive it.
- How can we use it to make life better instead of worse?
Part memoir, part personal guide, Dr. Dan takes us on a journey of how conflicts shaped his career, marriage, family, and closest relationships. Dr. Dan’s poignant and relatable stories and inspiring insights are as practical as they are accessible. The Joy of Conflict is a memorable story and a go-to reference for turning conflict into moments that enrich and elevate our lives.
Dr. Dan highlights his personal and clinical experiences to illustrate the many benefits of conflict. It’s become a central lesson of his lifetime. The Joy of Conflict shows us that we can fight and still be loved—in new and profound ways we’ve yet to experience or imagine.
