Vantagepoints on Learning and Life, by Kevin Eikenberry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As I flipped through Kevin Eikenberry's "Vantagepoints on Learning and Life' and read his first article on Commitment, I could sense right away his own commitment and sincerity in sharing his personal life and experiences with others... and I am thankful that I have his book in my hand. This is a book that I will definitely share with my loved ones and friends, and I will encourage my patients (I am a medical doctor) to read as well. Kevin's book touches the essential truths in life -- truths that are found in our daily living. To be able to extract the lessons from simple daily activities requires a keen sense of observation and the ability to contemplate the little things in life and their meanings. It is not something anyone can do. I can sense a certain gentleness and compassion in hi approach towards life that is reflected in his writings - a sense of contentment and peace with life. There is certainly a lot we can all learn from this book. I highly recommend it.
The Vantagepoints gift: Joyously helping us learn from our own lives
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As a coach I have found there is no better way for those in my care to learn with complete joy and remember a lesson most easily than in the telling of a story, and Author Kevin Eikenberry is an engaging, wonderful storyteller. Read Vantagepoints on Learning and Life, and not only will you have new stories to inspire you, to learn from, and to teach with, you will be inspired to live your own life's stories with sharpened focus and energy. After I had read this book, I sat at my desk, and I wrote scores of notes, gleaned from my memory of those times I felt I had learned something from my parents, my siblings, my husband, past mentors, and most of all, my children. I wanted nothing more in those moments of passionate writing, than to capture for eternity the lessons of my own life, to celebrate what I knew, and to have the raw emotion of the learning stories I could also tell of. In revealing glimpses of his life, Kevin Eikenberry has given us something extraordinary: The opportunity to feel the victorious learning of our own lives once again in their full, very human glory.
