Disappointing book,
By
This review is from: On Being Human: Where Ethics, Medicine and Spirituality Converge (Paperback)
I'm sorry to report that I was disappointed in this book. I think the conversational format interfered with my ability to truly engage in the substance of the topics. Plus, there were too many instances of the authors congratulating each other on the contributions of their own work or of the work at their respective institutions. Again, this interrupted the flow of the substance. Instead of an in depth discussion, I was left feeling that the topics were covered only superficially. I did gain additional insight into Buddhist thought, but I think I could have gotten this more effectively with a different reading choice. I would not recommend this book.

This review is from: On Being Human: Where Ethics, Medicine and Spirituality Converge (Paperback)
This is a wonderful, thought provoking essay. It gives you a look at what is the responsiblity of men and women who choose to affect the lives of humanity as human beings. Each of us is a member of the HUMAN family first. It is so important that people who have the special mission or gift to affect lives of others remember that one of the most important basis for the interaction should be LIFE TO LIFE first before anything else.
