Living a Life that Matters by Harold S Kushner

Living a Life that Matters by Harold S Kushner

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.

Harold Samuel Kushner is a prominent American rabbi. Born in Brooklyn, he was educated at Columbia University, the Jewish Theological Seminary and also studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of the remarkable When Bad Things Happen to Good People - which deals with the problem of evil, in the light of the loss of his young son Aaron to the premature aging disease progeria. He is also the author of several other books on popular theology, including Living a Life that Matters and When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough.
