The Peace Guidebook Is Coming to Audiobook! Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman Announce Blackstone Audiobook Deal
An exciting new chapter for The Peace Guidebook, with the audiobook now available for pre-order on Amazon.
We have some wonderful news to share! The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for the Good of Humankind, written by Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman, is coming to audiobook through Blackstone Publishing, and the audiobook is now available for pre-order on Amazon!
For Elizabeth and Katie, this is an exciting milestone in a journey that began with a shared belief in the importance of helping people cultivate peace in their everyday lives. What started as conversations about compassion, personal growth, grief, change, and the challenges people face has grown into a book, a global peace initiative, educational programs, and now an opportunity to bring the message of The Peace Guidebook to listeners in an entirely new way.
A New Way to Experience The Peace Guidebook
There is something special about listening to a book. Whether you're driving to work, taking a walk, traveling, enjoying a quiet morning, or finding a few minutes for yourself, audiobooks offer another way to engage with ideas that can make a meaningful difference in our lives.
And when the subject is peace, we think that's especially fitting.
The Peace Guidebook was written for real people navigating real circumstances. It's for the person feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, the leader trying to create a healthier workplace, the parent navigating difficult conversations, the caregiver carrying enormous emotional demands, and anyone searching for greater understanding, compassion, and connection.
Peace isn't reserved for moments when everything is going well. It matters just as much when we're facing uncertainty, disagreement, disappointment, grief, or unexpected change.
Through the audiobook, listeners will have another opportunity to explore the book's Ten Principles of Peace: Presence, Potential, Patience, Practice, Passion, Purpose, Positivity, Perseverance, Partnership, and Peace. These principles provide a practical framework for understanding how peace can influence our thoughts, relationships, decisions, leadership, and everyday interactions.
The book also includes personal stories, thoughtful reflections, and practical exercises designed to help people consider how they can bring greater peace into their own circumstances.
From the Written Page to a Wider Audience
Originally published by Health Communications, Inc. and distributed by Simon & Schuster, The Peace Guidebook is the third book in Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino's award-winning Guidebook Series, following The Change Guidebook and The Success Guidebook. It also marks another collaboration between Elizabeth and Dr. Katie Eastman, who previously coauthored the Hay House book Percolate: Let Your Best Self Filter Through.
Their work together spans more than a decade and includes books, coaching, educational programs, and conversations with people from all walks of life. Elizabeth's background in business leadership, coaching, personal development, and organizational growth complements Katie's more than forty years of experience in psychotherapy, grief, loss, caregiving, and life transitions.
Together, they bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the subject of peace.
The book also features a foreword by the Rev. Canon Mpho A. Tutu van Furth, whose perspective on compassion, humanity, and reconciliation adds meaningful depth to its message.
The audiobook agreement with Blackstone represents another opportunity to share this work with people who may prefer listening to reading, or who enjoy experiencing books in multiple formats.
For those who have already read The Peace Guidebook, the audio edition offers a new way to revisit its principles and reflections. For those discovering the book for the first time, it offers another way to begin exploring what practicing peace can mean in their lives.
Peace Is Something We Practice
One of the central messages of The Peace Guidebook is that peace is not simply an ideal we admire. It is something we can practice through our everyday choices.
We practice peace when we listen to understand rather than immediately respond. We practice peace when we recognize our own emotions without allowing them to determine every action. We practice peace when we approach difficult conversations with greater awareness, establish healthy boundaries, extend compassion, and recognize the humanity of people whose experiences may be different from our own.
That doesn't mean peace is always easy. It doesn't mean avoiding conflict, ignoring injustice, or pretending that difficult circumstances don't exist.
It means developing the awareness and practical skills to respond more thoughtfully to the world around us.
Pause. Breathe. Choose.
These three words have become an important part of the message Elizabeth and Katie share through The Peace Guidebook and the Percolate Peace Project. They remind us that even in challenging moments, we can consider how we want to respond and what kind of difference our choices might make.
One Million People Practicing Peace
The audiobook announcement also represents another step forward for the Percolate Peace Project, cofounded by Elizabeth and Katie with the goal of inspiring one million people to practice peace.
The project encourages individuals, families, leaders, organizations, and communities to recognize that peace can begin with everyday actions. A thoughtful conversation, an act of kindness, a willingness to listen, or a decision to respond with compassion can influence the people around us.
The goal is not to convince everyone to think alike or agree on every issue. It is to encourage people to approach themselves and one another with greater understanding and respect.
The more accessible these ideas become, the more opportunities people have to explore them and incorporate them into their own lives.
That's one of the reasons we're so excited about the audiobook. It creates another way for people to connect with the message, share it with others, and become part of a growing community committed to practicing peace.
