Taming Our Violent World

What if we could take steps today to help reduce violence tomorrow?

As David H. Swendsen witnessed the increasing violence in our modern world, he wanted to find solutions and help others take action. In his groundbreaking collection of images and vignettes, Taming Our Violent World tackles inherently human challenges-particularly the violence we inflict upon one another-and offers solutions.

With attention given to larger themes of love, respect, and compassion, Taming Our Violent World provides poignant solutions to an audience who may find themselves feeling hopeless. Swendsen breaks down the ways our modern world has begun to dissolve into a cycle of violence, media coverage, and political messages. He offers practical and compassionate approaches to breaking free of this cycle and living a life more rooted in love.

Drawing inspiration from Leo F. Buscaglia's body of work, Taming Our Violent World captures the importance of loving one another in the face of an ever-escalating world of violence. This book serves as a moving and powerful call to action, a reminder that we all have the power to change something today to help create a better tomorrow.
