Hope Is A Decision: Selected Essays By Daisaku Ikeda

Hope Is A Decision: Selected Essays By Daisaku Ikeda                   

What do we do when we've lost all hope? Is hope something found or something made? Can one person really make a difference? How do we remain optimistic when the world seems to be falling apart around us?

Renowned Buddhist thinker and peace activist Daisaku Ikeda spent his life wrestling with questions such as these. In these intimate essays––selected from more than 50 years of his works––he guides the reader on an inspirational journey to find answers and hope in troubled times.

"In this collection, Daisaku Ikeda beckons us to probe deeper into our lives so that we can change the world around us. Having witnessed and experienced the worst, he reaffirms that life does continue, that the light of hope can be found in the very darkest corners."
- Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations

"Philosopher, prophet, and poet of the power of hope and happiness, Daisaku Ikeda draws from the wellspring of his eventful life and imparts page after page of rich insight, royal wisdom, an spiritual truth with a style reminiscent of a comfortable living room conversation. This volume will greatly strengthen your devotional meditations and commitment to personal and global peace."
