Product Description

Book Description

We all yearn for an end to violence and war and much effort is directed at achieving this happy state of existence. According to the author, the reason that we have been unable to attain this happy state is that "violence is the product of fear" and our entire society is currently underpinned by structures that are dominated by fear; these structures are embedded in a war psychology - a 'war paradigm'. However, by coming to understand the extent to which fear pervades our existence we are able to change ourselves, restructure society and move to a better and brighter future.

From the Publisher

This book is a manifesto for improving society. The first part of the book contains an analysis of the causes of the deficiencies that currently exist in the human social realm. Stoute claims that all of these deficiencies - crime, aggression, mental violence, physical violence - have a common underlying cause; they all arise from fear. The second part of the book outlines how we can change society for the better by moving from the war paradigm to the learning paradigm. Stoute outlines how the learning paradigm can lead to individual self-development, and how it can lead to more effective and productive businesses and other social structures.

"This is the most in-depth analysis of the causes of the phenomena of fear. Stoute traces this to how society is structured and managed as well as to how we perceive ourselves in relation to social norms. He encourages us to develop confidence in our abilities to do what we want to do as the way of overcoming fear. He points out that fear is an innate feature of life and is not necessarily a bad thing, when managed properly. He argues that if not managed properly, it will inhibit creativity and stifle growth. Stoute shows us how to properly manage fear, and points out that it is the responsibility of each of us to manage anything that can stimulate fear so as not to become a victim. This book does not only make interesting reading, but it stimulates the reader to think at a level never experienced before. It is a must for each household." Dr. Ashwell Thomas
