For Jo Ann Deck,
goddess of compassion and strategic mastermind

This book will not only shatter stereotypes about soldiers and peace activists, but also conservatives and liberals. The purpose of this book is to teach us not only how to create peace in our hearts and peace between countries, but peace within our own country. The division in America is so severe that many conservatives and liberals cannot even speak to each other in a respectful way, let alone have a productive conversation. As each side demonizes the other, I will show how much they really have in common. As each side seems less willing to listen to and dialogue with its opponents, I will show how we can not only dialogue with those who disagree with us, but transform how they think. To do this, I will teach you a new form of combat.
Where do our societal problems come from? What is the underlying cause of war, racism, sexism, injustice, oppression, environmental destruction, and poverty? All these problems come from the human mind, from how people think. To solve these problems, we must get to their root by understanding how the human mind works, why people think the way they do, and how to transform people’s views about controversial issues.
