Beyond Chicken Soup - Fitzgerald, Tom

. .

Résumé :
In this thoughtful and inspiring guide, Fitzgerald offers a refreshing alternative to the self-focused, personal-growth literature that dominates bookstore shelves. Toward moving beyond chicken soup, Fitzgerald presents 52 weeks of transformative meditations and daily reflections designed to shift the reader's attention a little more toward 'other' ways of thinking. Each week features a powerful reminder message followed by seven thought-provoking interrogatives that challenge the reader to examine their beliefs, choices, and priorities. With wisdom that speaks to the soul rather than the ego, Fitzgerald addresses topics that range from forgiveness and humility to courage and authenticity, all the while promoting the idea that true happiness comes not from self-gratification but from creating meaning. As University of Pennsylvania Professor Michael Zuckerman notes in his foreword, this is not an ordinary book but one that keeps company with the seers and sages across time and cultures. Complete with artisan bread recipes that encourage readers to bake three loaves each day...
