Howard M. Chandler, Ph.D.
Abstract
The International Peace Project in the Middle East was one of the first and most rigorous research confirmations that large peace-creating groups practicing the Brain-Based Approach to Peace together could positively influence social trends, including war intensity and quality of life. It also provides insight into the great challenges, inspiring discoveries, and methodological innovations of groundbreaking research. The development and implementation of this research and of other crucial case studies can help shed light on best practices for future research projects on the Brain-Based Approach to Peace.
