It’s been awhile since I’ve done a book update — and believe me I’ve been reading. I recently finished The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien and enjoyed it, surprisingly so.
Next up is Field Notes on the Compassionate Life by Marc Ian Barasch. I picked it out as a Christmas present from my sister, Sarah. She took me to a local used book store that helps fund reading programs for prisoners. I saw this and read the first line of the preface and couldn’t resist.
What did the first line say?
“Every now and then, I’ll meet an escapee; someone who has broken free of self-centeredness and lit out for the territory of compassion.”
As always, you can ask me questions or recommend me books and find me on Goodreads.
I’ve started a different blog that will hold me accountable as I try to become a more compassionate person. Feel free to check it out.
Day Two on my Notes of Compassion blog I question whether Niceness and Compassion can be mutually exclusive and set goals for the week.
