About the author

American prizefighter Muhammad Ali, originally Cassius Marcellus Clay, Junior, won the world heavyweight title in 1964, but as a result of his refusal to allow the Army to induct him during the Vietnam War, people stripped him of his title and from 1967 from competing banned him to 1970; he later regained the title two more times in 1974 and 1978.

This former professional boxer, philanthropist, and social activist lived.

My copy is signed by the great Ali himself, as I followed him on his Boston book tour in 1997.

A very short book co-written by Muhammad Ali. It expresses his hopes and perhaps it is his last will and testament leaving us his hopes for healing from prejudices of all kind. It concludes with inspiration quotes from a wide variety of sources. The book is very short, but its message needs to be heard now more than ever.

This is a wonderful little book that I think the everyone in the world should read. This pronounced time of political tribalism, hatred, and division desperately needs voices of peace and every antidote towards understanding that can be found before it is too late!!!

One of the most powerful books I have ever read.The book is tiny, "easy," but very insightful. Ali and Hauser compiled a wonderful collection of quotes on the subject of tolerance and understanding. Two of my many favorites:

"You lose a lot of time hating people." (Marian Anderson, p. 41)

"If it be an evil to judge rashly or untruly any single man, how much greater a sin it is to condemn a whole people." (William Penn, p. 23.)

Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of simple things we need to do, to ease our worries and anguish.
