Spiritual Timber
From the richness of philosophies and religions, this book presents the spiritual timber from which to construct a life of compassion and justice. The aphorisms present material from which a home can be constructed, one with air and light, shutters thrown open and doors ajar. It is a home of shelter, protection and warmth, love and happiness. Here are some thoughts to help build such a life: - Generosity of spirit creates a life worth living. - Never promote yourself at another's expense. - A thoughtful person thinks for herself; a thoughtless person thinks only of herself. - Allow each person the dignity of his or her own labor. - Wealth justly gained is honorable; wealth unjustly gained is dishonorable; wealth kept for one's self is shameful. - Owning things isn't bad; being owned by things is bad. - Goodness is a gift from those who went before. Therefore, make things better for those who come after.
The Lost Art of Happiness
The key to the good life is compassion. Drawing on recent findings, Dobrin convincingly shows that compassion is built into human nature. When we act upon this inherent moral instinct, individuals find what they want most--to be happy.
