"God wants me to love the ones I don't understand, to get to know their names." -- Bob Goff

There are many lines that express the goal of this book, but this one explains it best. In a world that is increasingly disengaged with human connection and commitment, it is a wonderful reminder of how important sharing our lives with others is. How little gestures can make huge impressions and how being open-minded and curious about others can expand our self-awareness and acceptance of the beautiful differences in our families, our friends, our neighbors and the world. As a licensed professional counselor, I spend a great deal of time working with clients on this very thing. It is validating to know that the message that I am sharing goes beyond the context of professional services and that it's importance is valuable to all of us. The author's personal stories are engaging and amusing as he highlights the power that unconditional acceptance has in the lives of everyone involved. He has provided an amazing and enjoyable guide for those seeking to improve their journey in this life.
