The lives of outstanding figures such as the Buddha, Walt Whitman, and Gandhi are used to connect the ideal of inner peace with how real people cultivate peace in their everyday lives.

A message of hope and inspiration permeates this pragmatic approach and is exemplified by the author's own practice of meditation.
