What is the Secret Peace?
There's no doubt that countless dire crises consume the world. And yet, positive change is also all around us, under the media's radar. This book explores history's true trend towards world peace: a convincing picture of declining war, advancing health, equal rights, revolutionary technology, and more, including the surprising reasons why. This powerful shift in perspective is needed now more than ever.
Other than my book, the rest of the writing here is rather old, mostly from college when I was editor of the university newspaper. Read at your own risk. Note: All of these pop up small separate windows; and the Writing Exercises are PDFs.
