It's interesting that it looked like a manual to you. When I finished reading the book, I felt like my perspective of the world changed permanently, and I'll assume the same thing happened to you. The book bored me for a significant amount of time, though, but I agree that his recounts of his life compensated.UncleP wrote: ↑23 Feb 2021, 04:59 I will rate the book 4 out of 4 stars over and over again. The book has taught me a lot about life in general. His lifestyle acted like a manual and I really valued the writing and publishing of this book. There was nothing i disliked from the book. His whole life compensated and the time spent on the book was worth reading.

Right? And it's amazing how he even met Nelson Mendela himself. It's amazing that he's met a lot of extremely famous people of politics! This is the first time I've read a biography, too, and it makes me want to read more. I'll be careful to choose the good ones, though, because I don't want to get bored and end up not getting its worth.cjl1995 wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 00:34 I enjoyed reading Dream For Peace, for the most part. I do not usually like to read biographies because they tend to make me bored and I find them tedious. But this book almost overwhelmed me with the amount he accomplished in his life. Dr. Ghoulem always strived towards peace and equality and I found that very inspiring. His life sort of reminds me of Nelson Mendela's. I would rate it as 4 out of 4 stars

I actually rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I don't think life can be that very perfect.

I also found it interesting and inspiring that he looked for this peace not only in the world but within his family. It was nice that after marrying he tried to make good relations with his inlaws and he succeeded. Maybe this is seen as something not important, but I thought it was because our family are the most important people
to us. It would be strange for someone to go and try to bring pea e in the world when they can't do it with their inlaws.
The fact that he did many things from love and emphasised the importance of being true to what and who we love were important lessons we could learn and other people can take from the book. Most people are not willing to use in the effort or time for those they love, yet he made that effort
