About: To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to study love.
This is the radical message of this inspirational book .... Author and activist Satish Kumar is well known for his epic 1960s walk for world peace from India to Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DC
Book beginning:
Chapter 1- A Monsoon of LoveLife is a landscape of love, and love is the celebration of life. Love is the means and love is the end. Love is our path and it is our destination. Love is the goal. Love is a way of bveing. Love is a way of life. There is not way to love: love is the way.

Thanks to Wiley Saichek of Saichek Publicity for a feature/review copy of this book.
Since my word of the year is love, I think this is a book I need to read.
