The Everyday Hero - Paperback

by Delia Steinberg Guzman (Author)

The Everyday Hero is a selection of short but wide-ranging essays on questions that we probably all ask ourselves at one time or another in our live. What is love? Can pain and suffering be overcome? What is freedom and how can we find the courage to live it? These questions and many more are addressed by the author - an educator, a musician and above all a philosopher 'in the classical tradition' - in a refreshingly direct yet profound way. To read this book is to share in the author's own deep reflections about the human being and life, the fruit of her studies and conversations with people from all ages and walks of life across the five continents, and to be stimulated to engage in our own reflections and to live with a 'heroic sense of life' in everyday situations. This, she maintains, is the key to a harmonious and fulfilling life.
