Opis

There are many serious divides – political, religious, economic, and others – that threaten our planet. This book is about how individually we can contribute to healing the divides between us. The author, Dr. Serafin Talisayon, shares short readable stories and his own reflections from his life journey trying to understand, learn and find solutions to these serious divides. Because solutions will take time, Serafin dedicates and addresses this book to his grandchildren and to your own grandchildren as well.
The stories’ titles beckon your attention or promise surprise or entertainment, such as “Stories of people who died and then came back,” “The sex act: a most private act with huge public consequences” and “The root causes of poverty are not economic.” The author loves to stimulate you to think and he enjoys offering you potential eye openers. After each story, subtitles of his reflections capture the valuable life lesson he wishes to share with you. Suggested actions follow many of the stories which readers can consider if they decide to contribute in healing the divides between us.
