A focus of Peat's recent work was the concept of gentle action. This approach, as envisaged by Peat, emphasizes a certain manner of action that is aimed at creating change in an effective manner.

The approach calls for tolerating uncertainty yet suspending action at its onset in order to allow an overall view to emerge. It emphasizes the value of small-scale, iterative actions compared to large, single-step interventions.

Peat's gentle action has been cited together with Otto Scharmer 's Theory U and Arnold Mindell 's worldwork as approaches by which individuals, groups, organisations and communities can deal with complex issues.

Learning modules based on Peat's gentle action approach have been put in place, among others, at the University of Minnesota and at Siena Heights University.
