A calming collection of allegories, and illustrations from a world-renowned peace ambassador.
Global peace ambassador Prem Rawat has spent his entire life travelling the world to deliver one timeless message: Peace is Possible.
Conflict, he explains, takes place at three levels: between countries, between people, and finally within each of us as individuals. These levels are all interconnected. Hence the conflict that rages within a person will lead them to seek out conflict with another. Similarly, conflict between people of one nation is likely to result in conflict between many nations. So the first step to world peace is a simple one: we must first find peace within ourselves.
Peace is Possible draws together age-old stories which, as they have been passed down over generations, inspired and transformed the lives of millions. From the power of adaptability, to the importance of trust, to the sticking-place of courage, these are the messages that will change the world. For good.

This book is really lovely and quite unlike other books on similar subjects. It gives a space for the reader to reflect on and explore their own understandings about life. It's as simple as that. I have found that the book works really well as a tool in a reading group as it encourages both individual and group reflection, through the use of stories, vignettes, and reflections on life. It's really good just to pick it up and dip into at any page for inspiration and hope.
Such a lovely book. The short stories with lovely illustrations all seem to come back to one thing - so often we forget about ourselves amidst the busy lives we all lead, working or retired. I have a lot of books on my shelves and this book is now among my 'favourite' pile. The Relationship section hit home for me, I liked the honest questions asked and the refreshing answers given by the author.
