Peaceful Living

Each of the 366 meditations in this gathering of wisdom is designed to move readers away from turmoil, strife, and divisiveness and lead them toward peace, resolution, and co-operation. This shift in consciousness is challenging, but with the words and ideas of this book, readers can assemble a collection of practical tools for peaceful living. Each meditation includes an inspirational quote and concrete, practical tips for integrating the daily message into the reader's life. The learned behaviours of hate and resentment and the cycles of revenge are broken down and replaced with the skills of Non-violent Communication, including recognising one's needs and values and making behavior choices in alignment with them. This collection presents new ways of viewing familiar situations and daily reminders of the value of living compassionately, to give readers confidence that their choices actually make a difference in their lives and the world's struggles.
