Description
In an interesting and stimulating manner, the author describes how we influence and are influenced by our surroundings.
Why is there so much chaos in this world? This book may help the reader to understand the influence thoughts and actions have on the way we relate to our inner selves, to human and non-human beings and to the universe.
Thus we may understand better the effects of all that we are, and do and of all our relationships, so that we are better able to regulate our thoughts and actions in such a way as to contribute to peace and harmony in the world.
