From the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People comes an inspiring new bestseller that puts human feelings of guilt and inadequacy in perspective - and teaches us how we can learn to accept ourselves and others even when we and they are less than perfect. How Good Do We Have to Be? is for everyone who experiences that sense of guilt and disappointment. Harold Kushner, writing with his customary generosity and wisdom, shows us how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God's love when we are less than perfect. Harold Kushner begins by offering a radically new interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve, which he sees as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost: eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human, complete with the richness of work, sexuality and child-rearing, and a sense of our mortality. Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology, and his own thirty years of experience as a congregational rabbi, Harold Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives and help us meet the bold and rewarding challenge of being human.
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of
readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its
lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl
labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his
parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own
experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his
practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can
choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward
with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from
the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in
life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and
pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
