Peace In Our Time
We absolutely need to all work on creating Peace for Our Time. We live in a world of growing conflict and we need to create InterGroup Peace in all InterGroup settings.
This book describes both the author's journey of learning and key applications of the principals of the Art of InterGroup Peace and Primal Pathways to real world situations, circumstances, and settings.
The opportunities for Peace and for positive InterGroup interactions are real and they are immediate. We need to be both informed about the opportunities that exist and accountable for what we do in response to them.
This book focuses on those issues. It also explains the learning journey that took the author from the backwoods of northern Minnesota to interacting with people in dozens of countries and a wide variety of business, health care, and governmental settings in ways that created both insights about intergroup interactions and test sites for the tool kit needed to create and protect InterGroup Peace.
The first prominent use of Peace in Our Time by a British Prime Minister as a label for a working intergroup Peace agenda was a failure. We have the same need today--and this time we need to get the agenda and the strategy right. The book Peace in Our Time explains how to make that happen and explains why we need to do that work now before we end up being just another troubled nation at war with itself.
The book explains why we need to become a nation united by our core beliefs rather than a nation divided by race, ethnicity, economic status or gender. This book also explains what the key beliefs are that we can use to bring us all together, drawing on the legacy of the best beliefs that have made America great in the past.
