MasterPeace

In this empowering and controversial book, award-winning journalist Cash Peters explores what it takes to achieve peace in our lives and in the world. set against the backdrop of turmoil in Israel and Palestine. In particular, he shows how every dispute that humankind engages in is caused by one single factor: metanarratives. 


A metanarrative is the perception of reality adopted by a tribe, which members of that tribe believe is true. When one tribe’s truths is pitted against another tribe’s truth, conflict is the result. 


Written in an engaging, easy-to-grasp style, MasterPeace lays out not only the building blocks of the enduring tribal conflict in the Middle East, but offers a range of principles that can be used to defuse metanarratives, bring tribes together, and lead to peace, not just between countries but for all of us. 


'Peace is not attainable solely by negotiation,' Peters writes. 'Just as cancer and various other diseases can’t be ‘cured’ by external treatments alone, the underlying causes of hostility between longstanding combatants will not be resolved by the two sides 'making peace.' That’s like wallpapering over mildew. Peace is not something you make. No amount of signed treaties, accords, summits, resolutions, or any other dextrous committee-room maneuvering you might come up with, especially if all they’re doing is shifting the same old game-pieces about the board, is ever, ever going to be enough to iron out the differences between strongly-held scripts.'


MasterPeace is unique. It draws together matters of religion, spirituality, regional politics, history, philosophy, and metaphysics and makes them accessible to the general reader. There has never been a book like this before!
