Hooray! ‘9 Wonder Words: A Language for Living Well Even When All Hell Breaks Loose’ is a bestseller!
I wrote it to honour the dignity and worth of diverse peoples, and show how ideas from different cultures can help us live happier lives, and build a more peaceful world.
Decades ago, dignities considered principles, practices and perspectives from around the world, in order to shape a vision and map to peace. Their creation, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. I am delighted to think that now – a time when that vision is threatened, and progress towards it reversing in some places – people still believe in the possibility of peace, built with inspiration from across the planet.
