This book tells the story of a new historical dialectic in the world between two parallel processes: one of construction and the other of destruction. It lays out an empirical foundation for understanding the growth in the constructive global collective consciousness that began in the nineteenth century and the progress humanity has since made toward the achievement of a more just and peaceful world because of the discovery of new scientific and spiritual truths. Under the light shone on them by the constructive global consciousness, the outworn and destructive mindsets that have constituted the root causes of war for millennia, including racism, nationalism, religious strife, gender inequality and extremes of wealth and poverty, have now been fully exposed and delegitimized. Those who have been able to use these divisive attitudes as tools for their self-aggrandizing ends are bound to take a last stand. Yet, they are fighting a losing battle. Amidst the blinding haze generated by the accelerated collapse of outworn mindsets and institutions, this book seeks to bring into focus the forward march of the constructive process toward peace, and the powerful role each of us can play in its realization.
Industry Reviews
Insightful. Lucid. Concise. Brilliant. To the many accolades already written about Roya Akhavan's Peace for Our Planet, all of which I wholeheartedly agree with, I would only add this. The book's substantial contribution to the subject of world peace derives largely from Dr. Akhavan's ability to deftly weave together many of the world's most troubling, seemingly unrelated challenges and show how they all fit into a simple paradigm of processes happening on either a destructive or a constructive plane. Within that paradigm she exposes the root causes of the world's troubles and shows how they are interrelated. She also proposes practical and completely feasible steps to encourage the constructive process that leads ultimately to the world's unification and peace. Social and political leaders, college students, and everyone with an interest in current affairs, would do well to ponder the insights and recommendations of this book with care. -Ludwig Tuman, award-winning composer, and author of "Mirror of the Divine."
