In the nearly 30 years since the accident that made radio
personality and columnist Dan Gottlieb a quadriplegic, he
developed a finely-tuned quality of awareness that most
people never achieve: he became an outsider among us—”like
a foreign correspondent,” as he puts it. From that vantage
point, he has acutely observed the way people act, think,
feel, and live—in short, he studied and learned exactly
what it means to be human. Here, Dan shares his insights,
written with humor, honesty, a gift for storytelling, and
breathtaking compassion.
Learning from the Heart looks at what divides as well as
unites us, including the problems of family life;
difficulties confronting today’s parents; challenges faced
by the disabled and the aging; and issues of injustice that
affect the way we understand the world and our lives.
Although Dan is now speaking directly to the reader, rather
than to his own family, you’ll recognize the distinctive
voice and format that caused an outpouring of e-mail from
fans of Letters to Sam: short anecdotal chapters rich in
wisdom, generously revealing and deeply personal, and
resonating with universal truths.
