Some of us learn more from what we study and the experience that life brings our way than others. Some of us become smart. A few become wise. In this special book of practical wisdom, Dr. Abraham J. Twerski draws from his extensive professional experience as a psychiatrist and spiritual counsellor, a life-long student of Jewish wisdom texts, and his personal experience as a son of a wise Chassidic rabbi, to give us practical lessons for life that we can put to day-to- day use in dealing with ourselves and others. In a presentation as warm and witty as it is profound, Twerski combines lively anecdotes, personal musings, and insights and wisdom from sources ranging from Freud to the great talmudic and Torah scholars throughout the ages. And with deep compassion and refreshing candour, he shows how these wisdom teachings can guide us in all moments of our lives, whatever our faith tradition.
