Synopsis

Laugh, be inspired...and tap into your vast human potential. Good humour has the uncanny ability to break down barriers. This collection of over fifty essays by master educator Yehoshua Kurland is a unique combination of laughter and lessons, of humour and heartfelt advice. Each of these easy-to-read, self-help oriented essays covers topics like change, freedom, peace, internal struggle, and our relationships with others and with God. The chosen format that combines a humorous story with an insightful lesson is one that helps to open our minds and hearts and leads us to contemplate our course in life to actualise the vast potential possessed by every human being. It is often difficult to penetrate our hearts or to touch our souls, given the many protective walls we build. A good joke provides insight and creates an atmosphere of comfort that eases tension and opens the heart. A light matter, a bit of laughter, a smile brought to one s lips can lead to an important lesson for eternity.
