Is it possible to be good without also being dull? Is it possible to be generous & successful? Should we forgive someone who has hurt us deeply? Can we forgive life for not giving us what we want? Is it possible to find new meaning in compassionate love? Dowrick ranges widely in Eastern & Western philosophy & spirituality as well as psychology to explore courage, fidelity, restraint, generosity, tolerance, & forgiveness. Through diverse stories, she shows that far from being dull or constraining, these virtues have much to teach us about honor, endurance, tolerance, steadfastness, &, above all, compassionate love. A brilliantly clear, optimistic book .
