The Way to World Peace: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

In an era defined by geopolitical conflict, environmental instability, and uncertainty about humanity’s future, entrepreneur and researcher Kenneth Paul Callison argues that world peace is not an abstract ideal but an achievable step in human development. THE WAY TO WORLD PEACE: An Idea Whose Time Has Come (Wheatmark; Jan. 20, 2026) examines how humanity reached a critical moment and what it would take to move toward survival, cooperation, and lasting peace. Drawing on history, psychology, and philosophy, Callison traces how fear has shaped governments, institutions, and individual behavior, producing cycles of violence, militarization, and global insecurity. He places today’s converging risks, environmental decline, nuclear escalation, expanding defense systems, and widening inequality, at the center of his argument that incremental change is no longer enough.

Across 27 chapters, Callison makes the case that violence is learned rather than innate, and that it can be reversed through deliberate choices, coordinated global effort, and a sustained commitment to peace equal to that historically devoted to war. The book combines practical analysis with an examination of human awareness, arguing that lasting peace depends on recognizing shared responsibility and interdependence. The final chapters contrast the consequences of inaction with the possibilities of a more unified world. THE WAY TO WORLD PEACE also serves as the foundational text for Callison’s nonprofit, A Time for Humanity™, translating its mission into a clear and accessible framework for readers worldwide.
