Book excerpt: Conflicts, wars, catastrophic climate change and poverty are leading to our destruction. We are not evil people. We just "do not know what we do." To change the course of destruction we need to nurture in each one of us a sense of interconnectedness of life on this planet. We need to understand the position of a person we have differences with. Instead of focusing on what they say or how they behave, we need to explore where they are coming from, their frame of reference, the facts they use, the impact of history, the influence of their vested interest and the context of the system they are a part of. We need to learn to listen to each other with loving investment and compassionate exploration. By detaching from from our programming and preconceived positions, we can develop a deeper understanding of each other that brings us closer. This book explores these issues by reviewing catastrophic events in human history, such as the Partition of India, Hitler's Germany and Nine-Eleven. Change Agents, such as community psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and organizational development consultants; spiritual leaders; academicians; politicians; and CEOs of business organizations and banks may be particularly interested in reading this book. The only way to have peace is to listen to each other. If people are just trying to convince each other, there will be no peace.
