Becoming Human by Jean Vanier
Acclaimed as a man who inspires the world, (Maclean's) and a nation builder (Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier has made a difference in the lives of countless people. In this provocative book, Vanier shares his profoundly human vision for creating a common good that radically changes our communities, our relationships, and ourselves. He proposes that by opening ourselves to outsiders, those we perceive as weak, different, or inferior, we can achieve true personal and societal freedom. Becoming Human is not only a book of extraordinary ideas, but a revolutionary call to action. The 10th anniversary edition includes a new Introduction by the author.Jean Vanier is the founder of L'Arche, an international network of communities for persons with developmental impairments. He is the son of former governor general Georges Vanier. Being Human (the 1999 CBC Massey Lectures), Discovering Peace, Created for Happiness, Encountering the Other, and Befriending the Stranger are just a few of his publications. Jean resides in the French town of Trosly-Breuil.
