Gandhi and the Psychology of Nonviolence, Volume 2 “Vinod Kool has once again provided us with groundbreaking new understandings of sides of nonviolence in the Gandhian tradition few have paid attention to. These two volumes cover an impressive wide range of topics and each of them combines thorough studies of the sources with recent scientific discoveries in psychology and medicine. Both volumes of Gandhi and the Psychology of Nonviolence must be obligatory reading for anyone who wants to understand how the Gandhian “experiments with Truth” have developed into the most important force in societal conflicts globally. All engaged citizens, activists, politicians, researchers, and students should include these books in their curriculum. Kool and Agrawal provide food for thought on most of the important questions humanity is facing today including the 2020 pandemic. Reserve space in your book shelves for these books. When you have read them you will achieve a more nuanced view on Gandhi and nonviolence than you can imagine.” —Jørgen Johansen, Deputy Editor, Journal of Resistance Studies, Sweden “Those of us in peace psychology take pride in how much our field covers almost all other approaches in psychology. In these two volumes, this is done with a focus on Gandhian psychology. The wide range and depth of coverage offers a must read for everyone who wants to be familiar with Gandhi or who wants to be well-versed in peace psychology.” —Rachel MacNair, Director of the Institute for Integrated Social Analysis for Consistent Life, USA, President of the American Psychological Association’s Division of Peace Psychology (2013), and author of Religions and Nonviolence: The Rise of Effective Advocacy for Peace (2015)
