LIVING A LIFE THAT MATTERS HB

From the author of the international bestseller WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE, comes a profound and practical book about doing well by doing good.

In this inspiring, uplifting and timely book, Harold Kushner addresses our craving for significance, the need to know that our lives and choices mean something.

We sometimes confuse power, wealth and fame with true achievement.

We can do great things, and occasionally terrible things, to reassure ourselves that we matter to the world.

We need to think of ourselves as good people and are troubled when we compromise our integrity to be successful and important.

Rabbi Kushner suggests that the path to a truly successful and significant life lies in friendship, family, acts of generosity and self-sacrifice, as well as in God's forgiving nature.

He describes how, in changing the life of even one person in a positive way, we make a difference in the world, give our lives meaning, and prove that we do, in fact, matter.
