At a time when the world feels increasingly divided, the call to uplift humanity has never been more urgent. Yet peace, change, and success don’t begin with massive global movements. They begin with us—right here, right now. One breath. One thought. One courageous step toward being our best, most authentic selves.
At PercolatePeace.com, we believe that every individual has the power to create meaningful change—and we’ve dedicated our lives and our work to helping people do just that. Through a collection of transformational books, each written with heart, hope, and a vision for a better world, we offer a path forward for those ready to rise.
Here’s how each book in the Percolate Peace collection helps light the way:

This is where it all began.
Percolate asked a powerful question: What if you let your best self filter through—one thought, one breath, one choice at a time? In a world of rushing and reacting, Percolate offers a pause. It invites us to wake up, reframe our thinking, and gently realign with what matters most.
The nine-point Percolate Process™, created by Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman, has helped thousands shift from autopilot into intentional living. It’s the foundation of the Percolate Peace movement—and the origin of our mission to help 1,000,000 people awaken and ripple peace into the world.

Change is the doorway to peace—but most of us resist it.
The Change Guidebook gives you the keys to walk through that door with grace. It doesn’t just help you survive change. It helps you lead it—within yourself, your relationships, and your community. With ten powerful principles and dozens of inspiring contributors, this book shows that true change isn’t about external fixes. It’s about internal alignment.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, The Change Guidebook will guide you back to your center—and into your power.

We redefined success.
The Success Guidebook challenges outdated, one-size-fits-all definitions of success and offers something much more personal: fulfillment. With Elizabeth’s Ten Factors of Success—Imagine, Believe, Focus, Plan, Ask, Network, Collaborate, Sustain, Adjust, and Celebrate—this book empowers you to create a version of success that aligns with your heart and values.
Whether you're seeking professional growth, personal clarity, or a more purposeful life, this guidebook gives you the tools to shine—not for someone else’s expectations, but for your soul’s true path.

Sometimes the path to peace begins in pain.
Uplifting is a book of raw, beautiful truths. It honors life’s most difficult transitions—grief, loss, and uncertainty—and shows how they can be transformed into growth, resilience, and meaning. Written by Dr. Katie Eastman, a licensed psychotherapist and end-of-life expert, Uplifting is filled with real stories and deep wisdom for anyone navigating the unknown.
This is the book you turn to when life cracks you open. It’s the reminder that even in the darkest moments, you are being shaped for something greater.

Whether you're a leader, parent, friend, teacher, or seeker, The Peace Guidebook helps you live more peacefully, more purposefully, and more powerfully.
