The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for the Good of Humankind (The Guidebook Series) — publishing April 21, 2026 is available now for pre-order!.
Bestselling authors, speakers, and peace advocates Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman announce the upcoming release of their highly anticipated book, The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for the Good of Humankind (The Guidebook Series) — publishing April 21, 2026 and available now for pre-order on Amazon and major retailers. The Peace Guidebook features a powerful foreword by Rev. Mpho A. Tutu van Furth, an internationally respected spiritual leader and daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Her words open the book with a profound invitation to reimagine peace as a living, breathing presence in our lives. The book also includes deeply moving and practical reflections from over 20 contributors—parents, teachers, coaches, and peacebuilders—who share how they are living peace through challenge, change, and community.
A Practical Guide for Real Peace in Real Life
In The Peace Guidebook, Hamilton-Guarino and Eastman challenge the modern myth that peace is passive, perfect, or only accessible during calm seasons of life. Instead, they reframe peace as a daily practice — one that can be cultivated even in the midst of grief, change, burnout, and disconnection.
Rather than promoting surface-level positivity or rigid spiritual checklists, the book offers a gentle yet powerful roadmap for embodying peace through aligned values, conscious relationships, and compassionate action.
“Peace isn’t the absence of pain — it’s the presence of alignment. It’s how we live with grace, even when things fall apart.”
10 Principles of Peace
Drawing on decades of experience in personal growth, mental health, and spiritual leadership, the authors guide readers through ten transformational principles — from Presence and Patience to Partnership and Perseverance — supported by:
- 78 Peace Points™ for reflection and realignment
- Contributor stories from everyday peacebuilders, parents, coaches, and survivors
- Guided journal prompts and exercises
- Conversation tools for families, classrooms, and workplaces
- Interactive resources via the Percolate Peace Project
With compassion, wisdom, and humor, the book invites readers to live their peace, not just long for it.
Peace in Action: A Global Movement Begins
The book is part of a larger global initiative: The Percolate Peace Project, which aims to help 1 million people embrace peace as a way of life — through books, courses, classrooms, and everyday connection.
The Peace Guidebook follows the success of The Change Guidebook and The Success Guidebook and is part of the authors’ growing Guidebook Series, a best-in-class resource for transformation and purpose-driven living.
The Peace Guidebook publishes April 21, 2026 and is available now for pre-order on Amazon and all major platforms.
