NYC Big Book Award: GAB TALKS with Arwinder Kaur
In her book "Living While Human", Arwinder Kaur believes we need to create a deeper connection with ourselves, others, and the earth.
Kaur sat down with Gabby Olczak, president of the NYC Big Book Award, to speak about living consciously, and making good decisions that impact yourself, others and the world.
Kaur asks how do we as humans navigate our lives in the complex world we have created? With the high speed in which we are bombarded with images, messages and conflicting ideas, how do we figure out how to live in the world without destroying it and ourselves? Why are we the only species that seems to be struggling to live truly healthy lives? Masses of us are suffering with feelings of loneliness and emptiness, killing ourselves and each other despite our sense of superiority over all other species. What makes us live the way we do? How do we live better lives with a deeper connection to ourselves, others and the Earth? The answers are not locked away in a secret vault. In fact, they are much closer and simpler than you might realize, but need to know.
REVIEW
A candid description, written in first person, of a South Asian family that migrated to Canada and the trials and tribulations that they faced before settling down and making Canada their home...A book worth reading. Quite thought provoking and reflecting the resiliency shown by the writer in diverse situations.
