Kurzbeschreibung
Not a day goes by without our being called upon to help one another--at home, at work, on the street, on the phone. . . . We do what we can. Yet so much comes up to complicate this natural response: "Will I have what it takes?" "How much is enough?" "How can I deal with suffering?" "And what really helps, anyway?"
In this practical helper's companion, the authors explore a path through these confusions, and provide support and inspiration fo us in our efforts as members of the helping professions, as volunteers, as community activists, or simply as friends and family trying to meet each other's needs. Here too are deeply moving personal accounts: A housewife brings zoo animals to lift the spirits of nursing home residents; a nun tends the wounded on the first night of the Nicaraguan revolution; a police officer talks a desperate father out of leaping from a roof with his child; a nurse allows an infant to spend its last moments of life in her arms rather than on a hospital machine. From many such stories and the authors' reflections, we can find strength, clarity, and wisdom for those times when we are called on to care for one another. How Can I Help? reminds us just how much we have to give and how doing so can lead to some of the most joyous moments of our lives.

A Powerful Book for Developing Compassion,
Von Dan Windisch (Dupont, WA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: How Can I Help?: Stories and Reflections on Service (Taschenbuch)
As a professor I've used this book for 10 years for an intro class for counseling. I believe that it has had a powerful influence (through the true stories in the book) turning out compassionate and caring counselors. It is a GREAT book. We are not taught compassion, or how to help others. We see little examples of how to care or be helpful in the media (many examples there or how to do violence though!). This book provides true stories of the nature of compassion and helping.I recommend it highly for anyone who wants to help others. I think it is an essential book for anyone who wants to help others Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Rezension bezieht sich auf: How Can I Help?: Stories and Reflections on Service (Taschenbuch)
The story of the guy who dressed up as a clown to cheer up the kids in the Pediatric Burn Ward was one of the toughest things I've ever read in my life. It seems almost unbelievable to me that such people actually exist. This is an inspiring book.
