Title:

How good do we have to be? : a new understanding of guilt and forgiveness / Harold S. Kushner.

Edition:

1st ed.

Publication info:

Boston : Little, Brown & Co., 1996.

Physical description:

p. cm.

Summary:

Shows how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God’s love when we are less than perfect.  Kushner begins by offering a radically new interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve, which he sees as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost: eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human, complete with the richness of work, sexuality and child-rearing, and a sense of our mortality.

Katie – Loving what is

Loving what is : four questions that can change your life / Byron Katie written with Stephen Mitchell.

Edition:

1st ed.

Publication info:

Physical description:

xxvi, 258 p. ; 25 cm.

Summary:

The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is.
