Bill Eddy is the Co-Founder and Training
Director at the award-winning consultancy and training firm, High Conflict
Institute, where he helps professionals to better understand and manage their
team members with high conflict personalities. Bill has been recognized
worldwide as the international expert in managing disputes involving people
with personality disorders. His diverse background as an attorney, therapist, and
mediator as well as his work in managing disputes and mediating conflicts with
people with personality disorders has led to the development of the High
Conflict Personality Theory.

Bill joins me again to discuss how heredity,
the environment and culture, as well as your early childhood development are
contributing factors in the development of your personality. We discuss
limiting your exposure to social media and why it’s often challenging for us to
limit that exposure. We also discuss why Bill strongly advises parents to
control and limit what their children see on social media, why it’s critical
for Americans to learn about high conflict personalities, and why all human
behavior is merely a series of patterns.

“What’s changing today is the culture, more than anything. And the culture is giving us images today of dysfunctional behavior.” – Bill Eddy
