About this book
Peace is not built in conference rooms or treaty negotiations alone—it begins in the everyday choices we make with our families, neighbors, and communities. In Peacebuilding Starts at Home, veteran peacebuilder Charles Hauss argues that the path to a more just and harmonious society lies in how we live our daily lives.
Drawing on insights from social science, philosophy, and decades of hands-on work in conflict resolution, Hauss offers a practical framework for weaving peace into the fabric of ordinary experience. From building trust at the dinner table to cultivating compassion in schools and workplaces, he shows how "tiny islands of change" can connect and grow into a cultural movement with global reach.
Part memoir, part field guide, and part call to action, this book challenges us to rethink peace not as an abstract ideal but as an achievable practice. Whether you are a community leader, educator, activist, or simply someone longing for a less divided world, Peacebuilding Starts at Home provides both the inspiration and the tools to begin.
