Learning from the Heart by Daniel Gottlieb
In the nearly 30 years since the accident that made radio personality and columnist Dan Gottlieb a quadriplegic, he developed a finely-tuned quality of awareness that most people never achieve: he became an outsider among us—”like a foreign correspondent,” as he puts it. From that vantage point, he has acutely observed the way people act, think, feel, and live—in short, he studied and learned exactly what it means to be human. Here, Dan shares his insights, written with humor, honesty, a gift for storytelling, and breathtaking compassion. Learning from the Heart looks at what divides as well as unites us, including the problems of family life; difficulties confronting today’s parents; challenges faced by the disabled and the aging; and issues of injustice that affect the way we understand the world and our lives.
Psychologist Daniel Gottlieb, Ph.D., is the internationally acclaimed author of Letters to Sam and Learning from the Heart, which have been published in 15 languages and received worldwide attention. In 2009, in the U.S., he was the recipient of the Books for a Better Life Award for Learning from the Heart. Gottlieb is also the author of Family Matters and Voices of Conflict; Voices of Healing. He hosts an award-winning mental health call-in program, Voices in the Family, on the public radio station WHYY 90.9 FM in Philadelphia; writes a weekly blog on the website of The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation; and is a contributor to the Living section on The Huffington Post. A sought-after speaker on family and social issues, he lectures locally and nationally on a variety of topics affecting the well-being of communities.
