More from "Speak Peace in a World of Conflict"
Rosenberg ends his book with a discussion of how to get social change in a peaceful way - by committing to understanding the people we deal with - what their human needs are and how we can help each other make the world a better place. He says, however, that unless we can be at peace with ourselves and with the others in our lives, we don't have much in the way of hope for making social change but what else could we do that would do as much to create the life of our dreams?
Empowerment enhances the ability of individuals or organizations to make choices and transform those choices into positive outcomes. Empowered people have recognized their own value and strength and their capacity to handle life's problems. In turn they are better able to influence the course of their lives. With information and support, most people can find within themselves the power to direct their lives and reach their dreams.
