How Can I Help?: Stories and Reflections on Service

In these turbulent times I can always rely on RD to tell me beautiful stories of human kind and remind me the most important thing- compassion. I love him so and he was ahead of his time. No one comes close to his complete love and kindness to everyone. Dread the day I run out of his books I haven’t read.

Just wow! Ram Dass will just never disappoint. This is an incredibly simple, yet incredibly powerful book. This is Ram Dass’s distilled teaching for his Western devotes. Just amazing!!!

Great book, really unseful insight into how we help others. Dispatched very quickly and in good condition.

My mum is interested in 'alternative' culture, and enjoyed reading this book, so I can recommend it for others of a similar disposition!

With a wide range of accounts of people's experience of helping and being helped, the authors have brought together many different aspects of what it is to really be able to help other people, whether it be in a professional capacity, in close relationships or when confronted by different calls for help in our daily lives. This book goes to the heart of what it means to be of service to others, and ultimately to being of help to all beings.

Great little book, stories of context with practical wisdom

Geht direkt ans Herz und inspiriert sich selbst weiter zu entwickeln um anderen zu helfen. Danke!

A must read, as all the Ram Dass book!

soulful read

My wife and I are both first person volunteers (Red Cross and St. Vincent de Paul Society) and we both have full time jobs. I thought that we know about helping until I read this book.Basically, it starts with a focus on knowing and understanding yourself, tossing in a little mediation practice for good measure. If you are helping to feel better about yourself, you are not really helping.Along the way there are, as other reviewers have said, inspirational stories that (well) inspire. It is a great balance of discussion and insight with stories about service.When I got to the section on burn-out, I presumed that I know the answers. I have survive burnout and read several really good books on the subject. Relax, step back, etc. This book has an entirely different perspective that I think is more useful than the other books.If you want to help people, and I presume if you are reading this book that you do, then you should consider reading this book. Thanks for helping.
