From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt's cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.
At the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . .
With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet-text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell's masterful illustrations-Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that "we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house." Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.
"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow."
Rezension:
'This is quite the most original, entertaining and enlightening book I have ever seen - I don't believe there is another like it. With the words of His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Patrick McDonnell's enchanting illustrations, it leaves a lasting impression. After reading it once, I was compelled to turn the pages again and again. It is a blueprint for how we should live, with love, compassion - and humour.' - Dr Jane Goodall
'In Heart to Heart: A Conversation on Love and Hope for Our Precious Planet, the fourteenth Dalai Lama and artist Patrick McDonnell - who illustrated Jane Goodall's inspiring life-story - invite an ethical approach to climate change, calling on young people to face a world of wildfires and deforestation with passionate compassion for other living beings.' - Maria Popova, The Marginalian
