Hawaii¹s people have powerful stories to tell, exemplified by the inspirational tales in The Lessons of Aloha--Stories of the Human Spirit. Popular Hawaiian entertainer Brother Noland and award-winning photographer Shuzo Uemoto introduce 40 remarkable islanders--teachers and coaches, artists and entrepreneurs, healers and heroes. They are farmers and fishermen who learn from the land, executives who give back to the community, kupuna (elders) who keep the old ways alive and plain folks who¹ve conquered addiction and personal tragedy--drugs, prostitution, physical handicaps, a gunpoint hostage situation. These are the compelling, real-life stories of island people, told in their own words.

Got Aloha?,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lessons of Aloha: Stories of the Human Spirit (Paperback)
A collection of warm and enthusiastic words of wisdom from 40 residents of Hawaii. Each inspiring story is told in the first-person, usually in a uniquely Hawaiian form of "pidgin" English and accompanied by one or more wonderful black and white photos of the speaker. The individuals you will meet are "ordinary people" with extraordinary character and strength; people of widely differing life experiences and yet each displays a passion for life and an inner peace which is best described as the Aloha spirit.
