A New Era of Peace Begins With You
The world doesn’t need another book filled with empty promises or vague platitudes.
It needs a call to action.
It needs The Peace Guidebook.
Whether you’re here because you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out by division, or quietly wondering if peace is even possible anymore—you’re in the right place. This isn’t just a blog post. It’s the first ripple of a movement. And The Peace Guidebook is your roadmap to begin.
Why We Wrote The Peace Guidebook
We’re Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman—two women, friends, professionals, and life guides who have spent decades helping people navigate change, grief, loss, growth, and reinvention. We’ve written bestselling books (The Change Guidebook, Percolate, The Success Guidebook, and Uplifting) and coached thousands through their most defining life transitions.
But something deeper has been stirring. Something more urgent.
A call for peace.
Not the “let’s all get along” kind of peace, but a soul-level revolution of presence, purpose, compassion, and personal responsibility that can reshape families, communities, companies—and the world.
We wrote The Peace Guidebook to answer that call.
What Is The Peace Guidebook?
The Peace Guidebook is more than a book. It’s a bold, grounded invitation to transform your life—and the world—by learning to live, lead, and love through the lens of peace.
It introduces The Ten Principles of Peace, a framework rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and lived experience. These principles are not abstract theories—they are daily practices you can begin right now.
You’ll learn how to:
Cultivate peace within yourself
Create peaceful partnerships
Communicate with compassion
Build resilience in the face of chaos
Move through change with clarity and grace
Step into aligned action fueled by purpose and passion
The book is structured into three key focus areas:Hope. Healing. Harmony.
Each section is filled with stories, real-life reflections, tools, journal prompts, and our signature Peace Points—designed to help you not just understand peace, but live it.
Why Peace Now?
Let’s be real: the world is tired.
We’re exhausted by noise, division, doomscrolling, and disconnection. We’re burned out by the constant call to hustle. We’re watching generations inherit fear and fractured identities instead of hope and unity.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Peace is not passive. Peace is not soft. Peace is power.
But it must be practiced.
That’s why The Peace Guidebook exists—to give people, families, and leaders practical tools to bring peace into everyday decisions and interactions.
From the dinner table to boardrooms, schools to social media—peace starts with how we show up.
And we believe you are the most powerful place to begin.
What Makes The Peace Guidebook Different?
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a “good vibes only” manifesto.
This is a boots-on-the-ground, heart-in-the-center, truth-forward manual for making peace real in your life—especially when it’s hard.
What makes this book different?
Real-Life Experience: Between us, we’ve counseled grieving families, led corporate workshops, coached leaders, and walked through immense personal loss. This book isn’t theory—it’s lived truth.
Science Meets Soul: You’ll find neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness alongside storytelling, reflection, and spiritual practice.
No-Fluff Tools: Our motto is “Keep it real, no fluff.” Every chapter gives you actionable strategies that you can implement right away.
The Percolate Peace Project: This book launches a global movement. Our goal? One million people practicing peace, one moment at a time. And we invite you to be one of them.
