Love meant jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom

I read this book at a very pivotal point in my life, and it provided me with some insight into what I wanted to do and what values were important to me. Anyone can, and should, read this very powerful and emotional book.

I LOVED the Museum of Empathy’s “A Thousand and One Books”! It was a delight to allow the donor to do the talking rather than the editors sales pitch down the spine.

I was immediately drawn to what Heather said about the gift of attention and as I went to the book it clearly spoke to a direction that my life was taking at the time. Picking it was the easiest thing in the world then. I read it with great enthusiasm.

I have passed it on to a friend who I think will find some confirmation of an approach to which she has -I believe- a natural affinity: that of, unconditional positive regard.

I read this book about a year ago – it was very moving. I feel as though everyone should read it – you can see all of the characters’ different perspectives – but most importantly, you experience the holocaust through an innocent child’s eyes.

I kept this book around for quite a while, never managing to get to the end of it.
I hope to finish it someday, but until then I’m leaving this copy on a chair at the Geneva International Airport.
Thanks for sharing Patrick!

This book will shift the way you see the world…and maybe yourself. Love it.

I got this book from the pop-up exhibition in London. At first, I didn’t really know what to expect and it took me quite a while to get into it, especially that I was moving to Bordeaux, France, which is where I have finished it.
While at times it was quite depressing, it was also funny and insightful. The writing was beautiful and powerful. I really enjoyed reading this book.
I gave it to an Irish friend here in Bordeaux.

A book I had read before but this time it seemed to amplify what was going on in the world – innocent people and misfortunes that no human being in the 21st century should experience. The friendship between two women was powerful and showed that love and respect and unity can have small victories sometimes
