5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable book about the qualities of virtue, 11 Sep 2000

By	Mr. D. Mc Duff (Sittingbourne, Kent, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forgiveness and Other Acts of Love (Paperback)

This book is about the six great humane virtues - courage, fidelity, restraint, generosity, tolerance and forgiveness, viewed in a completely modern context. Stephanie Dowrick has written a compassionate and supportive credo for our times, a text that embraces contemporary psychotherapy, Sufi poetry, Indian mysticism and European philosophy. As she states in her introduction, the humane virtues include 'all the spheres of human existence: inner and outer; personal and social; psychological and spiritual. They are humble as well as awe-inspiring. They can teach us as much about beauty as survival; and as much through silence as through words.'

This is a self-help book with a difference, one that directs us back to the roots of sanity in the heart, in love, in wholeness, one that teaches us how to see ourselves in others, recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses, and realizing that our own suffering is also the suffering of others. By reaching out to others we can help both them and ourselves. And by doing so, we can also resolve the conflict between the self and the false self in us, following the teaching of Sri Sathya Sai Baba that who we are is made up of three persons. 'There is the one you think you are, the one others think you are, and the one you really are. Work towards making all three the same. Then there will be peace and bliss.'

In an age when most of the world's belief systems have reached a stage of near exhaustion, Stephanie Dowrick's humanistic approach to the problems of ethics and existence takes hold of the central qualities of virtue and shows their utter relevance to our time, and the far-reaching social and personal benefits they can bestow. Choice, self-responsibility and care for others are her principal emphases, and she writes with the authority and vision of a trained and experienced psychotherapist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, life-changing book, 30 April 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Forgiveness & Other Acts of Love (Hardcover)

This is one of the most amazing books I've ever read. It's like a treasure chest - not something you read once, then put back on the shelf, but something to be slowly digested, savored, and worked into your life. Since the author draws on sources from many religions and view points, I think that everyone will probably find something they relate to. I know the book isn't written specifically for 12-step recovery, but it's greatly helping me in my spiritual journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A goldmine of wisdom, 27 April 2006

By	DD (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forgiveness and Other Acts of Love (Paperback)

I picked up a copy of this book at the counselling centre where I work. I expected a very Christian take on the six virtues, but to my surprise Stephanie Dowrick draws from all spiritualities, to create a powerful, moving and thought provoking book. I believe that this will be a book that I keep returning to.
