This book lives right next to my meditation cushion. Every morning I read a simple & profound tidbit which sets my heart beating to a rhythm of peace. Throughout these tumultuous past months when the country's political climate creates so much fear, anger and unrest, Scott Shaw's book has been helping me stabilize in a personal peace. He has spoken truth in simple words that go in easily and resonate deeply. I just purchased this book for the Peace & Justice Center Library in our town. We can not create peace out of anger. Thank you for this gem, Scott Shaw!

This book can change your life. Pop it in your purse, briefcase, duffle or diaper bag. Read it when you have a few spare minutes. Well worth the investment. This is a book I refer back to often.

Scott Shaw's About Peace outlines over a hundred ways to be at peace. These are short one-liner admonitions to be read in times of turmoil, when life seems out of control.

What I love most about this book is that it is so easy to read -- each page is an individual chapter on how to find and maintain peace in this crazy world we live in. I find that I have been carrying this book around with me and periodically opening it up and reading a chapter or two in order to refocus my life and embrace my own inner peace. This is an important and very helpful book.

I looked at this book with fairly low expectations, thinking that it was of so many simplisitic self-help loosely based on Buddhist principles. But I was surprised to discover just how insightful and often profound it is. True, there are many tried and true aphorisms included here, but there are several "mini-chapters" that were very original and powerful for me. I have been a student of Zen and Buddhism for many years and I found this book particularly interesting. Somewhere in these pages is the "way".

This was book was recently introduced to me by a co-worker, who has now become a very dear friend to me. In my never ending quest to feel peace with who I am and where I am in my life, this book is helping me achieve this. I read a page every morning and it truly helps me make the most of each day. Well worth purchasing. Enjoy each day and may there be Peace within always.

I've sold some books on on-line websites, but this is one that I would never consider parting with. I purchased this book when I was on "a mission of self-discovery" and I believe it was a valuable part of that journey. I bought it at regular price, and it was worth every penny. I don't have the book in front of me at the moment so it's hard for me to be specific, but I can tell you that this is a book I will go back to time and again.

After reading this wonderful book from cover to cover several times I now include it in my morning meditations by reading one page per day. The words are simple, kind, loving and to the point. Thank you Scott, for sharing your thoughts so that my life is enriched.

i have had the honour to have my copy autographed by scott shaw himself. and the more and more time that we would share together i truly came to realize that life itself is truly about peace. and that is how scott shaw lives his life. now it's my turn to reach nirvana...hopefully with his help?

It is exactley what the title says. I will be buying this book for gifts for all my friends from now on.
