"Self help is only the beginning of the journey - to progress, we move beyond this to help others. Andrew Bienkowski learned this as a young Polish boy at the age of five when, exiled with his immediate family, he watched his grandfather starve to death so they could survive. Reminiscent of Viktor Frankel's great classic, Man's Search for Meaning, this extraordinary book moves back and forth from the family's terrible journey of survival in Siberia, to how to become a person who can give to others. Each chapter details powerful ways to achieve this with such concepts as radical gratitude (being grateful for small gestures instead of seeing them as incomplete), who we can and cannot help, genuine being with others in need, and the remarkable changes that we can experience when we do. The feel of this book can best be summed up by Churchill's famous saying - 'We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.'"--Provided by publisher.
