Description
Deepak Chopraโs passionate new book, Peace Is the Way , was inspired by a saying from Mahatma โThere is no way to peace. Peace is the way.โ In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasnโt been tried is the way of peace itself. โWe must not bring one war to an end, or thirty,โ Chopra tells us, โbut the idea of war itself.โ
How can this be done?
By facing the truth that war is satisfying, and then substituting new satisfactions so that violence is no longer appealing. โWar has become a habit. We reach for it the way a chain smoker reaches for a cigarette, promising to quit but somehow never kicking the habit.โ But Chopra tells us that peace has its own power, and our task now is to direct that power and multiply it one person at a time.
Behind the numbing headlines of violence running out of control there are unmistakable signs of a changeโChopra believes that a majority of people are ready to see an end to war. โRight now 23 million soldiers serve in armies around the world. Canโt we find ten times that number who will dedicate themselves to peace? A hundred times?โ
