Jahanbegloo asks, in this follow-up to his internationally celebrated book Time Will Say Nothing: A Philosopher Survives an Iranian Prison. <p/>Prevailing upon the wisdom of the Ancients, the Dalai Lama, and other great thinkers, this meditation on forgiveness and revenge offers insights into building a more peaceful world during this time of nationalism and exclusion.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>By the end, any facile or sentimental notions of forgiveness are banished, leaving only a robust, even pragmatic argument for a possible path to peace.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The winner of the Peace Prize from the United Nations in Spain and an advisory board member of PEN Canada, <b>Ramin Jahanbegloo</b> is Vice Dean and Executive Director of the Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Peace at Jindal Global University in New Delhi, India.</p>
