David Hazen has more than sixty years engagement with, and curiosity about, the peace movement. He challenges commonly held beliefs with a whole-systems perspective and empowers us to embody the culture of peace.

David offers how we might see connection with others in the midst of suffering and disconnection, then presents a map for detangling the addiction process: where it begins and where it repeats again and again because unresolved pain always returns after a temporary numbing.
