520    "Scientifically based strategies for enacting successful 
       and enduring change on personal, societal, and global 
       levels, no matter what your background. Shares the stories
       of people who have changed history, such as Martin Luther 
       King Jr., Ben Franklin, and Gandhi, detailing how they 
       used the 8 laws of change. Based on more than 16 years of 
       scientific and historical research as well as the author's
       own experiences during the Civil Rights movement. Explores
       research in the fields of medicine, neuroscience, biology,
       and quantum physics to reveal the science of how the 8 
       laws of change work. Inspired by his own powerful 
       experiences during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s 
       and other social movements in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, 
       Stephan Schwartz spent 16 years researching successful 
       social transformations, uncovering the science and the 
       patterns behind them all. He found that there are three 
       ways to create social change. The first is the advancement
       of technology and science. The second--change compelled by
       physical power--is almost always coercive and violent and,
       for those reasons, not long lasting. The third avenue of 
       change he discovered--the most successful and enduring--is
       one brought about by something so subtle it is often not 
       taken seriously: small individual choices based on 
       integrity and shared intention. Revealing how the dynamics
       of change are learnable, Schwartz explains the 8 laws of 
       individual and social behavior that can enable any person 
       or small group--even ordinary people without great wealth,
       official position, or physical power--to bend the arc of 
       history and create successful lasting transformation. He 
       shares the stories of individuals who have actually 
       changed history, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Benjamin 
       Franklin, Mother Teresa, and Mahatma Gandhi, detailing how
       they implemented the strategies and tactics of the 8 laws 
       to achieve their success. The author explores research in 
       the fields of medicine, neuroscience, biology, and quantum
       physics to reveal the science of how these laws of change 
       work. He explains why compassionate and life-affirming 
       changes have the most enduring impact and shows how each 
       of the 8 laws cultivates a sense of "beingness" in the 
       individual, empowering your integrity and connecting you 
       to something greater than yourself--the key to lasting 
       change on the personal, societal, and global levels"--
