Seeking Peace: Notes and Conversations Along the Way

Everyone's seeking peace, but few seem to find it. Why? Arnold says most people are looking in the wrong direction. Where can we find peace of heart and mind - peace with ourselves, with others, and with God?

Seeking Peace, Arnold's fifth book, explores many facets of humankind's ageless search for peace. It plumbs a wealth of spiritual traditions and draws on the wisdom of some exceptional (and some very ordinary) people who have found peace in surprising places.

For anyone weary of the spiritual soup served up on so many bookstore shelves these days, Seeking Peace is sure to satisfy a deep hunger. Arnold offers neither easy solutions nor unrealistic promises. He spells out what peace demands. There is a peace greater than self-fulfillment, he writes, a peace greater than nations no longer at war. But you won't find it if you go looking for it. This peace is waiting for everyone ready to sacrifice the search for individual peace, everyone ready to embrace c! hange.

People have come to expect good reading from Arnold, a trusted spiritual guide whose previous books on sexuality, marriage, raising children, facing death, and forgiving have sold over 75,000 copies. This book, a culmination of his work to date, speaks to a broader audience while drawing closer to the heart of his message.
