Here he offers a step-by-step guide to creatively using nonviolence to confront any problem and to build change movements capable of restructuring the very bedrock of society.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nagler identifies some specific tactical mistakes made by unsuccessful nonviolent actions such as the Tiananmen Square demonstrations and the Occupy protests and includes stories of successful nonviolent resistance from around the world, including an example from Nazi Germany. And he shows that nonviolence is more than a tactic—it is a way of living that will enrich every area of our lives.Foreword \u003cbr\u003e ONE: An Introduction to Nonviolence\u003cbr\u003e Fight, Flight, and the Third Way\u003cbr\u003e The Uses of Nonviolence\u003cbr\u003e Satyagraha: A New Term for an Eternal Principle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e TWO: Right Intention: Cultivating a Nonviolent Soul\u003cbr\u003e The Person Is Not the Problem\u003cbr\u003e Five Basic Training Practices for Nonviolent Living\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e THREE: Right Means: Knowing Where We Stand\u003cbr\u003e How Much Nonviolence Is Enough?\u003cbr\u003e When Nothing Else Will Work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FOUR: Putting Nonviolent Energy to Work\u003cbr\u003e Proportionality\u003cbr\u003e The Art of Compromise\u003cbr\u003e What Do We Really Want?\u003cbr\u003e Building it Right: The Secret of Constructive Program\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FIVE: Peering into the Heart of Satyagraha\u003cbr\u003e Seeing the Real Results   \u003cbr\u003e Coping with Success\u003cbr\u003e The Importance (or Not) of Numbers\u003cbr\u003e How Useful Are Symbols?\u003cbr\u003e Can Nonviolence Be Misused?\u003cbr\u003e The Role of Suffering in Satyagraha\u003cbr\u003e Fasting in Satyagraha\u003cbr\u003e Taking Control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SIX: What Have We Learned?\u003cbr\u003e A Way of Being\u003cbr\u003e A Movement Over-sweeping the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Highlights: A Handy Reference\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e For Further Reading and Viewing\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e About the Author\u003cbr\u003e About Metta“Understanding nonviolence as an energy present in all of us is key to putting it to work in our own lives and in the troubled life of our world.
