On Being Human
あらすじ・解説
If you have asked yourself questions like “How should I live?”, “On what shall I base my decisions?”, or “What is truly important?”, On Being Human will be a source of help and guidance.
Modern thought tends to divide life into categories, but in the process of living, all the currents mix and mingle, and worthwhile answers only come from finding a harmonious relation to the whole. Seeking holistic understanding, this book ranges through psychology, art, science, religion, relationships, culture, mythology, philosophy, and the world’s wisdom traditions. Although no one can be expert in all these areas, the living of life does not offer the choice of avoiding any of them. Whether expert or not, each of us must come to terms with the full scope of human questions, emotions, and possibilities. This wide-ranging book will provide assistance for those who wish to bring all these currents together in a coherent way.
Retiring at the age of 35 after successful involvement in business, politics, and education, David began to consider more carefully what was truly important in his life. Following several years of study, travel, practice, and experiences of many kinds, there came a deepening sense of what it means to live a human life. His understanding developed further through dialogue with hundreds of participants in seminars and workshops he has presented during the past 20 years. In this book, he shares the insights gained in the process of his personal exploration and exchange with others.
批評家のレビュー
"I have followed David White's work for more than a decade, and have attended many of his lectures and participated in several discussion groups he has organized. What makes this book unique is that it presents a cohesive, wonderfully-crafted summary of more than 30 years of reading, introspection, and inner work. The book will be invaluable to those who are either beginning, or have already embarked on, a journey of self-discovery." (Rafael C. Gonzalez, PhD, Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus, electrical engineering and computer science department, The University of Tennessee; author of the best-selling textbook Digital Image Processing)
"When you read On Being Human, you acquire a wise new friend who respects and cares for your well-being and is devoted to increasing your understanding of yourself and how to overcome life's complexities. To clarify how we can make the best decisions for living, David combines the rational, emotional and spiritual dimensions in considering what makes life worthwhile. In reading this book you will gain much insight and feel dignified by what you have come to know." (Phillip Moffitt, past editor in chief of Esquire Magazine and author of Dancing with Life and Emotional Chaos to Clarity)
