This review is from: Courage (Buddhism For You series) (Hardcover)

"Courage" by Daisaku Ikeda is an indispensable book that provides much needed insight for each person to deal with a scary world both on the personal level and on the societal level. It explains about each person's acting to change the negativity that surrounds us, instead of just wishing for it to change, simply complaining about it or cowering from the harsh realities of life. It is written very straight-forward without being preachy. Ikeda offers simple steps to develop our own courage to face whatever troubles us in our lives.
