4.57 Can you tell us about the paradigm shift that you are working to create.
7.45 What are people’s biggest misconceptions about peace
9.42 In your book you say that in the past peace may have been the domain of the altruistic, whereas now it’s everyone’s self-interest because peace is central to a safe and productive society. Can you tell us more about that?
10.47 In the book, you also say that most of our leaders are trapped in an early age, a kind of Darwinian race to complete, and that dominates how they think about international relationships. In our increasingly interconnected world, how should leaders be evolving?

29.43 What are your thoughts or reactions to the formation of a world government?
