It critiques traditional nature–nurture models, arguing that these frameworks oversimplify human behavior and fail to capture the deeper dynamics that shape our movement toward or away from violence. In place of these approaches, the book proposes a wholistic psychology rooted in embodiment, non‑duality, and phenomenological identity development. Rather than viewing violence as a product of innate traits or social conditioning, it suggests that our dispositions are best understood through the habits we continually form. Using American culture as a case study, the book illustrates how national narratives and embodied patterns help explain uniquely American attitudes toward war. The final chapter offers a hopeful vision grounded in embodied ethics and spiritual–existential reorientation, showing how such practices can strengthen our psychological resilience and support a more peaceable way of being.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbod Salimi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Nevada State University.
