(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-194).

"In Choosing the Good Life, Ali Berman explores what it means to be at peace with ourselves, our choices, and the world around us in all its glorious chaos. She takes us into the lives of people who, despite their vastly different talents, challenges, and interests, have achieved a deep sense of balance in and satisfaction with their lives. Stories include those of Holocaust survivor Emery Jacoby, who rose above anger and bitterness to reaffirm the good in himself and others, along with Sungrai Sohn, a violin prodigy and gifted teacher who lives in the shadow of a potentially fatal illness, and many other inspiring life stories. Berman then pinpoints their common approaches and qualities to reveal how they have found contentment--and how we can too"--,Provided by publisher.
