"The Unbreakable Human Spirit of Resilience: A Boy's Journey from Adversity to Triumph" transcends the typical memoir genre, narrating the profound journey of Ericboy, a young boy whose early life in the war-torn streets of Liberia forges his unyielding spirit. His tale begins in the challenging environment of West Point's slums, moves through the contrasting worlds of Mamba Point, and is violently disrupted by the Liberian Civil Wars, turning his once haven, Graystone, into a battleground. Surviving the war's devastation, Ericboy's story continues as he and his family migrated to the United States. Here, he confronts and overcomes an array of challenges: from grappling with educational challenges and cultural differences to navigating socio-economic hardships. Each obstacle further cements his resilience, transforming every trial into a stepping-stone toward growth. At its core, Ericboy's narrative is a testament to human resilience. His eventual success in establishing a fulfilling life and family in America, and his impactful career as a mental health counselor and therapist, illuminate the potent blend of endurance and compassion that defines him. Beyond a personal account, this book pays homage to his late grandmother and beloved mother, whose unwavering support and silent strength played pivotal roles in his journey. This story is a celebration of the human spirit's capacity to thrive amidst adversity, embodying the belief that life's greatest challenges can be transformed into avenues for service and hope. "The Unbreakable Human Spirit of Resilience" is not just Ericboy's legacy-it's an inspirational beacon for anyone striving to overcome their battles and make a meaningful impact in the world.

À première vue, l'humanisme occidental, le bouddhisme japonais et la science moderne ont si peu en commun que l'idée même de rechercher un terrain d'entente par le dialogue semble trop idéaliste. Seul un homme du calibre de daisaku ikeda pourrait mener à bien un tel projet. Faisant fi du cliché et des réponses faciles, il aborde les grandes questions auxquelles la société d'aujourd'hui est confrontée: cancer, sida, mort dignement, fécondation in vitro, éthique biomédicale... Les réponses apportées par René Simard, biologiste moléculaire et généticien, et Guy Bourgeault, bioéthicien , sont perspicaces et convaincantes. Leurs discussions ont franchi les barrières linguistiques et culturelles pour présenter une vision du potentiel - et des défis inhérents - à l'être humain.

The twenty-first century requires ordinary citizens to battle terrorism, having never faced it in our own land before. All over the world the "every man for himself" mindset becomes more prevalent because so many live by the "me first" philosophy. For those wondering how to confront our new realities, former POW Arthur B. Baker informs the reality of our existence with Triumphs and Tragedies, Corregidor and Its Aftermath. His positive battle plan for life isn't the stuff of therapist's lingo or the uninformed civilian, but was developed from his service to our country on the island fortress of Corregidor, the Philippines and in POW camps in Japan during World War II. Though captivity under the Japanese meant starvation, slave labor without a single cent of compensation and inhumane treatment, Arthur Baker's determination to face battles with a positive attitude resulted not only in his survival but also in effective passive resistance in the heart of the enemy's land. Only a few have undertaken to write of the lives of POWs in the Pacific while the world was at war; fewer have told their own stories. As might be expected, those who have tell bitter stories of horror. Baker's account, horrible as it is at times, focuses on a battle plan useful to anyone in any situation: keep hope, fight for it, hold tight to it, assess your options and use what you have. These marching orders set his work as a beacon for anyone to follow in any situation.
