This book provides a foundation of principles and practices of nonviolence and offers a way to practice nonviolence in our current times and in our day to day lives. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are remembered as pioneers for nonviolence and for their social justice and civil rights movements. Yet, both of them believed wholeheartedly that nonviolence was a lifestyle. Nonviolence is not just for a season-it is a way of life. Nonviolence as a way of life means cultivating qualities like compassion, empathy, peace within yourself and with people in your daily life. It also means engaging in practices like meditation, journaling, Nonviolent Communication, etc., to support you in exploring the personal and interpersonal dimensions of nonviolence.
