Books about Peace if from Amazon.com

Do you sometimes feel as if you are living your life to please others? Do you give other people the benefit of the doubt but second-guess yourself? Do you struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, lack of confidence, emotional emptiness, or eating disorders? In your intimate relationships, have you found it difficult to get close without losing your sense of self?

If so, you may be among the fifteen million adults in the United States who were raised with unhealthy parental control. In this groundbreaking bestseller by accomplished family therapist Dan Neuharth, Ph.D., you'll discover whether your parents controlled eating, appearance, speech, decisions, feelings, social life, and other aspects of your childhood—and whether that control may underlie problems you still struggle with in adulthood. Packed with inspiring case studies and dozens of practical suggestions, this book shows you how to leave home emotionally so you can improve assertiveness, boundaries, and confidence, quiet you "inner critics," and bring more balance to your moods and relationships. Offering compassion, not blame, Dr. Neuharth helps you make peace with your past and avoid overcontrolling your children and other loved ones.

Robert Earle presents the first historical account of the strategic process that sought to reverse the negative consequences of the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. He offers an insider's details and insights into the early attempts to deal with the Iraqi insurgency and to develop Coalition counterinsurgency plans available nowhere else. His book is a sustained, comprehensive account of all the conflicting factors that have made Iraq such an intractable international crisis. Recruited as a strategist by John Negroponte, the first U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Earle documents the Coalition's uncertainty about the nature of the insurgent/terrorist enemies and explores the impediments frustrating the massive, $18 billion U.S. reconstruction effort. Earle recounts helping to formulate a comprehensive counterinsurgency strategy, issued jointly in a unique collaboration by Ambassador Negroponte and Multinational Force-Iraq Commanding General George Casey, which sought to reverse the negative consequences of the U.S.-led occupation.

Upon drafting the strategy, Earle was evacuated from Iraq because of a massive deep vein thrombosis in his left thigh. Arriving home, Earle thought his nightmare assignment in Iraq was over, but Negroponte requested that he return to Baghdad to write a message to the president, explaining that U.S. policy was failing and offering an alternative approach. Casey, meanwhile, asked Earle to assess the evolution of Iraqi politics and possible outcomes of the risky January 2005 election. Returning to Iraq over the strenuous objections of State Department doctors, Earle worked to complete his assignments from dingy offices within Saddam Hussein's former presidential palace in Baghdad's Green Zone that he dubbed the 'Pink Motel.' Digging deeper into his mission, he was faced with the difficult realities of the effort to end the violence and to build lasting peace.

With novelistic detail, Earle wraps the stories of soldiers, diplomats, contractors, Iraqis, and Coalition partners into the larger strategic crisis. He offers unmatched portrayals of personal and psychological sacrifice and stress, routine acts of courage and solidarity, and the bizarre atmosphere of violence and uncertainty in war-torn Iraq.

Much has been said of the principle of thinking globally and acting locally I have found this not only to be true, but with vision and determination, I realize that local successes may also release the forces of a perpetual cycle that in turn leads to improving global conditions.

Sometimes, when life gets particularly painful, it's hard to believe that God cares about what's happening to us. in those trying times, we often jump to wrong conclusions: "Maybe I'm not very valuable to Him, " or "He must think I need this mess," or "I must have done something (here or in the premortal life) to disqualify myself from His love." Counselor and author Kim Nelson suggests that we need a clear understanding of four things to make sense out of the potentially painful puzzle of mortality: (1) the role we played in the process of choosing to come to earth, (2) the nature of God's parental affection for us, (3) the level of the adversary's commitment to keep us from these truths, and (4) what we can do to get the most out of our earthly test. His insightful stories and analogies shed new light on truths that will help us find happiness in God's plan for us..
