"Invitation to Peace Studies is the first textbook in the field to emphasize 21st-century topics and the latest empirical research, as well as the first to prominently apply a gender perspective to the topics of peace, war, and violence. The book covers traditional peace studies' concerns with interstate wars while offering an equal emphasis on intrastate wars, group- and gender-based violence, and on the many nonviolent movements which have shaped recent world history. Clear and accessible language invites students to become more frequent and effective peace promoters in their own everyday lives. Dozens of case studies and textboxes foreground contemporary topics such as climate change, cyber warfare, digital activism, drones and robots, the occupy movement, peace ecology, positive psychology, religion and violence, and terrorism"--

Download Peace Is a Practice Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
When you breathe in all the grace available to you and release everything that is outside of your control, you'll discover peace that surpasses your circumstances. All it takes is practice. If you feel overwhelmed with anxiety about the future, you're far from alone. For many of us, when we're not worrying about what is to come, we find ourselves wrestling with things from the past. Where does that leave us today? Morgan Harper Nichols has learned the answer to this question. She has examined stories from her own life and the lives of people around the world and noticed a common thread: we all long for peace. We're all seeking light and life. But these things don't happen passively. Peace Is a Practice invites you to become a peacemaker in your own life, starting right where you are, and in some of the most unexpected places. As these words and images inspire you to take daily steps toward peace, you'll uncover the key to: Embracing the beauty of the present Letting go of regret of the past and fear of the future Developing a path toward meaning and authenticity Approaching life's challenges with faith and a calm confidence Feeling peace even in the midst of uncertainty or difficult times In every moment, there is something as deep and boundless as a winding river waiting to be found--a true peace that flows, beckoning you to rest . . . and be still.

Introduction We live in fast moving times. Look how much the world has changed since you were a child - look how much has changed in the last ten years. People lead such busy and hectic lives just trying to get by that most of them hardly ever get round to stop and seriously ask what exactly this life is about anyway. Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? And since this life is going to end one day, is there anything we need to achieve before it is all over? Because, all of the outer developments aside, take away all the layers and you find we're still the same as we always were deep down. Our basic needs are still the same, our basic fears, our basic hopes. And if there's one thing that we all desire, it's to be happy, to be at peace. With all the advances in technology and all the ways life is easier for us than it was for our parents and grandparents, you'd expect people in this time would be the happiest people that ever lived. But are they? Are you? Depression seems to be an epidemic that's plagued this age like none before it, as well as anxiety and restlessness - at least, inner restlessness. Why is that?The trouble with this age seems to be that with all the progress we've made and all the new things we possess, we've lost something people before us had. We've lost a real purpose to live for. Deep down inside, we know that these bits and pieces we're surrounded by can't be the purpose of it all - we're all the time getting nearer to when we have to leave them all. Yet it is these material things that most people have made the target of their lives, and got themselves believing will deliver that basic goal of ours: happiness and peace. And so we continue working so hard to achieve them, and continue finding when we get to them that we were wrong. But maybe the next thing will bring real happiness... This book has been written to help you find that you do have a meaning beyond simply going through the motions of life - eating, drinking and procreating - and that there is a way for you to achieve happiness by living a meaningful, fulfilling life, a life that still means something after the material things have ended. It's really an answer that's already within you, furnished with some information from around you, that is going to be presented before you. For your part, you must open your heart and mind and be sincere in order to recognise the truth when you see it. The truth, after all, is no small matter. Peace.

To the mind, true spirituality seems a contradiction in terms; a paradox. Peace, that elusive quality universally sought, is that which you always already Are. You are being invited to sense, know, and experience yourself as This. It is paradoxical to be invited to that which one already Is. The invitation is to allure the mind and at the same time to break through its infinite reams of conditioning. So highly conditioned is the modern human that the entire population, to a greater or lesser degree, identifies with or believes themselves to be the mind. Have you ever entertained with any degree of seriousness the question: Who Am I? As of this writing, more and more of this planets population are beginning to take an interest in the Truth; the Truth of what they Are, as well as embrace the Truth of what everything Is. Rest assured nothing is as it seems to be, to the mind. You are being invited to step aside from the mind and its incessant chatter, in the quest for Peace. When the activity of the mind begins to cease, that which is left cannot be described. You are being invited to simply find out what it is that awaits when all that is false is exposed. In this revelation awaits your Truth, your Peace.
