“I hope that our people, who are struggling for democracy in Burma, will be able to learn much from your book. I hope that you will be able to help us in our struggle, for we are not yet at the end of the road”

“A challenge to the way most people in the world think and act, this book sets out personal precepts for a life well lived and a world that is gentler, kinder and more just.”

“Your words are moving and a masterpiece”
MIKE BLISSETT

“I welcome this book. It is a fine exploration of a dimension that is all too frequently overlooked in the Western world; that of the human spirit. This timely book gives voice to the growing awareness today that to create a deeper democracy and a more peaceful world, matters of heart and spirit must take centre stage, both in private and public spheres. It is my hope that it will stimulate a wider debate and foster positive change.”
JANE OZANNE
(Founder of ‘Spirit of Peace’)
