Learning from the Heart
Technology is a wonderful thing. We can do a lot more now than ever before. One of the costs of being able to "do more" is that we have less time with ourselves and others. More communication happens with inanimate and impersonal objects, like computers and texting devices, than with living breathing things. We become expert at interacting with machines but we forget how to feel with our hearts. The more dispassionate our interactions, the more hard hearted we become. This book shows the reader how to evaluate feelings at the core. Identify the source of the feeling. And move forward after learning the benefit from and purposes of all our experiences. While it is painful at times to evaluate the details of our past, it can be empowering if we choose to build on the experience.
Learning from the HeartThis book may of just come at the right time but it changed my attitude about life and changed my circumstances in one weekend read. I had been worried about lossing my job and about aggressive peers pushing me out. I was also going through a challegning family situation. Mr. Gottlieb's words were positive and heartful. I highlighted all of the areas that touched my heart and then loaned it to a friend. Once I got it back I reread my highlights and I am still in a much more positive mode. This is gentle book about living through learning, and with our fear. A kind and gentle book of lessons learned and dealing with the realities of life. 3 months later I am still positive, and reading his other book "Letters to Sam". Listen and you will learn more, and feel much better.
A moving read, highly recommendedLife's lessons are more invaluable than anything one is going to learn in school. "Learning from the Heart: Lessons on Living, Loving, and Listening" discusses and what it means to be human. Written by a man who has experienced both the best and worst of life, "Learning from the Heart" offers poignant insights into life and love, and how to push oneself forward to the future. "Learning from the Heart" is a moving read, highly recommended.
Thank you, Dan Gottlieb!Wow, what a moving and beautifully written book! Recommended for anyone living with a chronic illness or condition, and their caretakers. A perfect book to share and re-read. Loved it!
loved iti loved it, and think it is a useful read for anyone who needs a reminder of what is important in life.
Product DescriptionIn the nearly 30 years since the accident that made radio personality and columnist Dan Gottlieb a quadriplegic, he developed a finely-tuned quality of awareness that most people never achieve: he became an outsider among us—”like a foreign correspondent,” as he puts it. From that vantage point, he has acutely observed the way people act, think, feel, and live—in short, he studied and learned exactly what it means to be human. Here, Dan shares his insights, written with humor, honesty, a gift for storytelling, and breathtaking compassion.
Learning from the Heart looks at what divides as well as unites us, including the problems of family life; difficulties confronting today’s parents; challenges faced by the disabled and the aging; and issues of injustice that affect the way we understand the world and our lives.
Although Dan is now speaking directly to the reader, rather than to his own family, you’ll recognize the distinctive voice and format that caused an outpouring of e-mail from fans of Letters to Sam: short anecdotal chapters rich in wisdom, generously revealing and deeply personal, and resonating with universal truths.
