Of all the Chopra books that I've read, this book is a wonderful culmination of spiritual principals and practices that he discusses in all of his books. The book was written in 2004, so many references are to the Iraq War and the September 2001 terrorist attacks. He talks about the obvious causes of violence and war between countries and groups of people, but then delves into the real reasons for such conflict. Peace on a large scale begins with inner peace within each and every person. It is t

Loved this, it's the first of Chopra's books i have read and it certainly will not be the last.
Compassion and respect are a must for humans. We need to lose the mindset of us and them otherwise they will always be the enemy (whether that is a family member, neighbour or terrorist).
Politicians should read this and choose another career, we need to neutralise the powers that are behind our leaders until then they will never truly lead us to where we all need to be...one wit More...

Interesting information about how conflict as a whole is declining in the world. A bit soft, though, in that it advocates simply a renuncation of violence within the individual and that this is the way to peace. Unfortunately not everyone has the emotional intelligence or spiritual awareness to do this.

It seems like Deepak's message generally is framed around Gandhi's various teachings, basically if you want to eliminate war, be a proponent for peace. Or in Gandhi's words, 'be the change you want to see in the world.'
The majority of the book seemed flat and fell short.
Sorry Deepak, you're incredible but this book is a pass.

The book has a lot of practical advice for bringing peace into one's life. I didn't give it more stars because I felt it jumped around a bit and some of the stories given were unnecessary and unbelievable. Regardless, it makes very good points on why we aren't peaceful and how we can become more in our own lives, thus having the power to change the world.

Somewhat predictable case for why we can and should move beyond our baser instincts for war and retribution. I found myself saying "Amen to that, Amen to that, Amen to that," when what I really wanted was something provocative that would force me to think of this in new ways.

I've been thinking about this book for over a year now.
It is a beautiful book, and I've decided that I do believe in Deepak Chopra's message,which is that we need to create peace within ourselves in order to manifest peace in the world we live in. With that said, in order to contribute to the well being of others, we have to do things daily toward that aim. Based on my own experience, I think that Deepak Chopra fans and fans of The Secret run the risk of getting so self absorbed in self More...

Should be priority reading for all of humanity. If we could all wrap our minds around these concepts, what a wonderful world this would be.

Buku Deepak Chopra yang anti perang. Menurutnya sudah menjadi kebiasaan pemimpin Amerika yang suka berperang. Dari penyerangan ke Afgahnistan,Kuwait, Somalia, Lebanon, Panama, Grenada, Vietnam, Laos, Kamboja, Nicaragua, Colombia dan Iraq.
Buku ini meyatakan Tuhan saja tidak menyuruh berperang dan dia berharap bangsa Amerika bisa memulai kebiasaan baru "Damai".

This is a Chopra book that is easy to understand and very motivating to work for peace by starting in your hometown, at your job, at home. The biggest point of the book is to be for peace, not against war. Focus on the positive, not the negative. And remember, by raising everybody's consciousness towards peace, the world can change.

I was taken in by the title, as I love the quote from which it was taken:
THERE IS NO WAY TO PEACE, PEACE IS THE WAY
It was pretty good, but I get more out of Buddhist and Hindu spiritual literature.
