Our Review
This scholarly collection brings together leading voices in education and psychology to tackle the complex dynamics of institutional and personal transformation. The first section provides deep psychological insights into what actually drives change in environments and systems, examining both the catalysts that spark meaningful progress and the barriers that maintain stubborn resistance. The analysis moves beyond surface-level solutions to explore when change proves genuinely beneficial versus when it merely disrupts without improving conditions.
The volume's second half shifts focus to peace education, offering critical perspectives on how societies and academic institutions can address systemic conflicts and build sustainable frameworks for harmony. What makes this work particularly valuable is its dual approach—combining psychological foundations with practical educational applications—creating a comprehensive resource for educators, policymakers, and organizational leaders. Readers seeking evidence-based strategies for creating meaningful change will find this collection both intellectually rigorous and practically applicable to real-world challenges.
