The Search for a Nonviolent Future

Video-Led Reading Study

Finding the book Search for a Nonviolent Future has played a transformative role in the lives of so many people across the world since it was first published back in 2001.

In this series of videos, Michael takes us through his book, section by section, with insights that add richness and depth to the study of nonviolence like none other.

Purchase a copy of Search at the Metta Center bookstore: mettacenter.org/bookstore.


Some background: These videos were originally filmed for a daily thought-for-the-day project, Daily Metta, which is now called Nonviolence Daily and is an email as well as a book that you can find at mettacenter.org/nonviolencedaily. The discussion of Search was our weekend offering while we created those daily posts.

The Metta Center for Nonviolence provides educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
