Navigating from the Heart

This book speaks to my heart and gives me hope for the future. David La Chapelle draws on economic, scientific and social history as he pinpoints where we are in the changing tides of our tumultuous world. But he goes beyond that and delves straight into the heart of the human spirit, giving inspiration and meaning to our role as human beings. He shows how we are linked in a reciprocal relationship with the rest of the world. The thread that weaves throughout this book is the power of Love to transform and heal. The author asserts that "whenever the passion of the true heart is summoned, the course of life is changed." The Interludes after each chapter are inspiring stories of historical beings who, with passion and courage, changed the course of their world. Florence Nightingale, Black Elk and Gandhi are but three of the guides who show us, by their example, what can happen when we dare to follow our hearts and our dreams. Mr. La Chapelle invites us to "find a song, search for a star, listen to your heart, and join me as we search for a way through the turbulence of our times." It is a pathway of healing that encourages us to open our hearts and begin to restore a sacred balance to this world that we call home.
