By David Krieger and Daisaku Ikeda.
Choose Hope puts forth the profound proposition that ordinary people can and must lead their leaders to a globally secure future. We can end the threat of nuclear devastation if we choose to do so.
Choose Hope
Description
When our common future is at stake, can we afford to be indifferent? Can we reasonably expect our political and military leaders to have the wisdom and will to solve our most serious and dangerous problems?
With hope, it is possible to change the world. But we must consciously choose hope and then choose to act upon it This book can be your inspiration.
“This book gives us all hope because it reminds us that in addition to the gift of life, we are each also given the gift of choice. We each can choose to reject the bomb, the bullet, and all the techniques of violence. We can choose to live fully alive in each moment, refusing to hurt or kill our brothers and sisters, who make up the human family. We can, above all, as Daisaku Ikeda and David Krieger remind us in this inspirational book, choose hope.”
—Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
“In this nuclear age, when the future of humankind is imperiled by irrational strategies it is imperative to restore sanity to our policies and hope to our destiny Only a rational analysis of our problems can lead to their solution This book is an example par excellence of a rational approach.”
—Joseph Rotblat, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
“With passion and admirable clarity, two of the world’s most dedicated peace thinkers explore the full spectrum of human possibilities for peace and justice, considering practical steps and expressing their visionary hopes An inspiring book especially valuable in this dark time
