THE IMPACT OF BEING HUMAN
Multi-award-winning Writer and Filmmaker whose captivating documentaries have been in over 400 film festivals and winning close to 200 awards has written an innovative book on awareness, mental health, daily wellness, and empowerment based on his 2015 award-winning documentary The Impact of Being Human.
Written in prose and poetic narrative, the premise is how we learn from and give to everyone we meet. The extent and benefit of learning and giving depends on the level of awareness, perception and challenged beliefs; for one’s being can be a stream of contentment or a sea of frustration. Indeed, addiction to negative beliefs and emotions can lead one down a lonely path of unfulfilled dreams and lack of purpose; however, positive beliefs and healthy emotions can transform the quality of life not just for us but for everyone in our lives.
The narrative of mental health, mental wellness, and empowerment is told from childhood to older age. It contrasts what we learn in the innocence of childhood and the sometimes distorted perspective of adulthood. Readers will learn many reasons for addictions, self-loathing, and why we cannot get what we think we need as well as widening the context of how we look at ourselves, others, and the world. In addition, readers will learn how to understand the people and circumstances around them - and to know in every moment they have the gift of impact.
More than ever, the world would benefit by examining its mental wellness. The uniqueness of the book is organizing a lifetime in a way that will awaken a reader who is new to the path of awareness as well as an enlightened seasoned pro.
