Book Recommendation by Dr. Holloway
Years ago, I came upon an older book entitled Try Giving Yourself Away written by David Dunn that is truly transformative. It provided numerous stories and examples of how we can enrich the lives of others by deliberately giving things that cost us nothing. The book was 145 pages with 41 short chapters that provided a world full of insights as to how we can help those around us by becoming more aware of what we have to offer.
For example, Chapter 14 is entitled “The Priceless Gift of Tolerance.” The chapter revolves around a couple in a neighborhood who were the subject of mixed emotions among their neighbors. Everyone loved the wife who was friendly and outgoing, but when it came to the husband, he was viewed as being cold and distant – almost unfriendly. One day, the couple moved unexpectedly without any mention to their neighbors. At a recent gathering, some of the people began openly criticizing the husband’s attitude while pouring out sympathy for the man’s poor wife because of what she had to put up with. One of the men present, a lawyer, finally felt compelled to speak up on the husband’s behalf. He then shared with those present that they had no idea what they were talking about. The man had been doing his best to keep his wife out of trouble, because she was a kleptomaniac and was in the habit of stealing items from people. Her husband had been trying to keep her out of trouble and jail, and that was the reason why he had behaved the way that he had. The chapter then concludes with the gift that we are all capable of giving to those around us, and that is the gift of toleration. There is always more than meets the eye, and we are often guilty of misjudging people who might have a very good reason for their behavior.
The book is out of print but used copies can be found. Though written many years ago, it provides countless examples of how we can enrich our own lives. I highly recommend it!
