As we welcome 2025, we’re thrilled to share some truly exciting news: We’ve signed a major book deal with Health Communications, Inc. (HCI) for our upcoming book, The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for All Humanity, scheduled for release in 2026.
HCI, the publisher behind beloved works like Chicken Soup for the Soul and A Child Called “It”, has an incredible legacy of bringing transformative books to readers worldwide. Partnering with them for The Peace Guidebook is an honor and a dream come true.
This book represents our shared vision for a world where inner peace and collective harmony are not just aspirations but attainable realities.

The Peace Guidebook is also deeply connected to The Percolate Peace Project, a global movement we co-founded. This initiative is about inspiring individuals and communities to “percolate” peace from within, creating ripple effects of positive change that extend far beyond themselves. Our goal is to reach 1,000,000 people and empower them to live with greater mindfulness, gratitude, and compassion.
“We are honored to partner with Health Communications, Inc., a publisher renowned for its commitment to life-changing books,” Elizabeth shared. “The Peace Guidebook is our hope for a more unified, compassionate world, where hope, healing, and harmony are accessible to everyone.”
Katie added, “In a time when division can feel overwhelming, this book offers a roadmap for unity and understanding. We’re passionate about helping people create lasting, meaningful change in their lives and the lives of others.”
This new book, like our previous collaborations, is the culmination of our work and dedication to inspiring hope and growth. It’s also a celebration of the incredible community that has supported us throughout the years.
