This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leave your loved ones a legacy of blessings, wisdom, gratitude and hope. "Done right, an ethical will is a gift of love, a way of saying, 'This is what I found gave me satisfaction and gave my life meaning. It animated my relationship to you and to your mother (or father). May it do the same for you. I send this to you with much love.'" —from the Foreword by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner Ethical wills are precious spiritual documents, windows into the souls of those who write them, and are often a treasured part of a family’s history. These “legacy letters” sum up what you have learned in life, and what you want most for, and from, your loved ones. This book—a unique combination of “what is” and “how to”—offers a step-by-step process to help you prepare an ethical will of your own, and provides a wide range of contemporary ethical wills to help you do it. It reveals the ongoing relevance of this traditional Jewish practice for people of all faiths, all backgrounds. The emotional power of the nearly one hundred last letters collected here, written by both famous and ordinary Jewish people, will inspire you to live more fully now, and to record your own blessings for the generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mt. Washington, New Hampshire It was truly a “dark and stormy night,” perhaps the darkest and stormiest of my life, for I came to within five key minutes of death... my death... because my rescuers were about to give up! As a physician and pathologist, I had developed a close professional relationship with “death and dying”... but not with my dying... certainly not with my death! During the long night, as I lay waiting for rescue in “whiteout” conditions, with wind gusts to 98 miles per hour, and then waiting for my Death, I had abundant time to think about living, to think about dying. It has been said since ancient times that to know how to live one must first learn how to die. Bernhoff A. Dahl, M.D., author, speaker, consultant, humorist, and veteran mountaineer shares his life - threatening experience in a positive, motivational, and inspirational message focusing on three admonitions: Be prepared to die! Have a plan to live! Do it now! After taking the trip to the mountain with Dr. Dahl, he will lead you through the three admonitions and start you on your own Journey Into the Self. Elaine Pearson Dahl (1949-2010), author, civic leader, offshore sailor, and white water champion not only help create this book, but she lived the three admonitions, right to the end. Included is an adaptation of Dr. Dahl’s international bestselling Optimize Your Life!, for which Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series noted: “Everyone needs to be strategic. My friend Dr. Bernie, makes it easy to understand and do-instantly!” Dr. Dahl’s story was featured on The Learning Channel’s StormForce series.

Book excerpt: Catherine and Richard are nearing the end of their lives. An intelligent, introspective couple, they want to die with dignity and without the pain that often accompanies dying. They are also realistic, unafraid to look death in the eye and try to deal with it on their terms. They have lived long and are ailing, and for people like them, as life spans lengthen, end-of-life questions have become more urgent. Those who guide patients and families through life’s final stage call for wiser discussion, better services and a clearer ethical framework. Catherine and Richard, as a final gift to their children, have decided to create an ethical will, a document that spells out the values and principles that have guided them throughout their lives. We listen in as they discuss these very personal guideposts in a conversation full of insight, wisdom, and sometimes humor, but always love.

Download or read book The Ethical School written by Felicity Haynes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts often arise between regulations, making it difficult for school management teams and teachers to resolve situations with appropriate dignity and respect for all concerned. This book discusses provocative actual case studies to help teachers to reflect on their own ethics, guiding them to make more reasonable decisions in their schools, and thereby gradually transforming schools into more cohesive and caring communities. A model of consequences, consistency and caring, each aspect based on traditional ethical theories provides a scientific base - a rational and a responsive base for ethical decision-making. This work covers such everyday problems as censorship, inclusivity, school uniform, punishment, personal gain and confidentiality, and argues that care and respect for others, equity, rational autonomy and concern for long-term benefits are more important for a school community than short-term power and control.
