In Learning from the Heart, Dan Gottlieb shares some of his life with us. His story is sad, joyful, and tragic. And despite all of the trauma in his life, he continues to live with the knowledge that life is precious and that compassion is the truest...
tten with humour and honesty, a gift for storytelling and a great depth of compassion, "Learning from the Heart" addresses issues that divide as well as unite us, such as family life, the challenges facing the disabled and elderly and issues of injustice.
