We live at a time when societies are riven with division and strife. What hope is there for us to heal? Healing Social Divisions provides a radically new, non-ideological and effective consciousness- based approach for transforming our societies. Peer-reviewed research provides evidence that it is possible to neutralise stress in the collective consciousness of a society. This then promotes life, liberty, happiness, heals social divisions and creates the platform for good governance. The research challenges the conventional wisdom that consciousness is only a by-product of brain functioning. Along the route it examines our self-concept, freeing us from the biases of reductionism that impede the development of morality in our public life.

In The Press

For anyone vexed by the problem of conflict and hatred, this book has good news. Healing Social Divisions offers a line of intervention that is relatively straightforward: Meditation can heal social divisions even if only a small fraction of people practise it. Analyzing the effectiveness of meditation interventions is challenging but the book does a great job borrowing from particle physics to explain social behavior. It is easy to follow and truly entertaining.
