Holistic Hardware: Tools That Build Lives

Holistic Hardware is for individuals whose lives have fallen apart - anyone plagued by perpetual crisis. It is also for the person helping - the minister, counselor, social worker, mentor, or volunteer - anyone, in fact, with the desire and the heart to uplift another. The holistic tools are principles, values, disciplines, and strategies that equip you with the spiritual resources and practical guidance to transform your own life; or they can help you make a difference in the life of someone in need, turning your heartfelt concern into effective compassion.

Joseph H. Holland is perhaps best known as the Harvard Law School graduate who has devoted most of his adult life to rehabilitating and creating economic opportunity for the homeless in New York City’s Harlem community. Joe has worked as a lawyer, entrepreneur, state official, motivational speaker, and playwright. He also started the Harkhomes shelter for the homeless, where he developed a holistic strategy for people in crisis. This approached evolved into holistic hardware, tools that build lives, the subject of this book.
