How Percolate: Let Your Best Self Filter Through Sparked a Global Peace Movement

What if you let your best self filter through—one thought, one breath, one choice at a time?

That simple, powerful question became the heartbeat of Percolate: Let Your Best Self Filter Through, the groundbreaking book by bestselling author Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino. Published by Hay House (Penguin Random House) on April 14, 2014, Percolate quickly became more than just a personal development guide—it sparked a global shift in how people think, feel, and live.

With warmth, wit, and wisdom, Percolate invites readers to wake up to what’s possible, realign with what matters most, and live more fully—every single day.

“I highly recommend this book if you want to live more fully, laugh more heartily, and leave a lasting legacy for your loved ones!”— Noah St. John, bestselling author of The Book of AFFORMATIONS®

The Birth of The Percolate Peace Project

Percolate introduced readers to a new way of thinking and being—one grounded in gentle awareness, intentional growth, and the courage to live life more consciously. It encouraged people to pause, reflect, and allow their best selves to rise to the surface. It wasn’t about perfection. It was about presence.

With every page, readers began asking deeper questions:

• What if I showed up with more heart?

• What if change could be met with compassion?

• What if peace was something I practiced, not just hoped for?

That invitation to live more mindfully sparked something bigger than expected.

Out of the success of Percolate came a greater call—not just to change individually, but to awaken collectively. The Percolate Peace Project was born—an evolution of the book’s original heartbeat. What started as a personal shift became a global ripple. The message expanded: peace isn’t a destination, it’s a daily choice. It’s not abstract—it’s actionable.

The Percolate Peace Project invites all of us to become stewards of peace in motion. To be vessels of clarity, kindness, and conscious change. And it all started with the question:

What if you let your best self filter through?
