Book description
Deepak Chopra's new book takes its title from a famous quotation:
'There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.' Mere variations on the
theme of conflict will never get us where we want to go. We must take
an evolutionary leap into a new way of being.
According to Dr Chopra, war is a deeply ingrained habit that needs
to be replaced. And beyond that, 'If the way of peace is to succeed,
it must offer a substitute for everything war now offers.' More than
this, Chopra contends that the majority of people have already evolved
beyond war. The way of peace is the next step in their journey of
personal growth. War is an outlet for fear, a stage for the enactment
of courage and heroism, a display of machismo, and the contest of good
versus evil. Peace Is the Way shows how each of us can end our
need for these things.
This stimulating new book offers a seven-step programme for changing
the reader's consciousness. War ends with one person at a time, Chopra
argues, and if enough people expand their awareness, we will reach
critical mass, at which point the entire consciousness of the planet
can shift away from war forever.
Inspiring, thoughtful, timely and skilfully-crafted, Peace Is the
Way is reminiscent of How to Know God in its scope and
vision for the future of the world.
'I absolutely agree with Dr Chopra's view that if we want to change
the world, we have to begin by changing ourselves.' The Dalai Lama
