This book, Creating Peace, is at once a novel, a self-help book, and a manual for an engrossing game framed in essentially rational, problem-solving terms and an exploration of the motivations by means of which we create disturbance within ourselves and conflict with others — the final causes (our beliefs, goals, purposes, needs, and values) and the perpetuation causes (the rewards and reinforcers) that drive us toward either conflict or peace and appropriate means by which to modify them.
