One finds their true home through caring and being cared for
Caring is something we can strive to do every day. Many oppportunities will open up as we interconnect with others on a day to day basis. I always try to live by these sayings, do unto others as you would have others do unto you and, what you reap is what you sow. To receive love you must give love. It is our life's cycle. At times in our life we are the doers, the givers, at other times takers, receivers. To be the taker is not selfish but self actualization. It requires humility to accept love, especially when you are not feeling loveable. In these pages Milton Mayeroff gives us a philosophy of life in a nutshell. It is a small book but nevertheless brings great comfort and peace to the soul. Other powerful authors are Victor Frankl who wrote Man's Search for Meaning, Abraham Maslow, Religion, Values & Peak Experiences and Rabbi Harold Kushner, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. All powerful words filled with wisdom, life experiences and reality.

Required reading for all business owners and employees.
The concepts Mayeroff presents, are part of the Mission Statement of my company. Caring is a foundation stone that permeates every aspect of the company business. Caring is in our performance reviews, caring is in flexible hours, caring is in time off, caring is required reading for all employees and board members, etc. As Mayeroff states: "Caring has a way of ordering activities and values around itself" (p.65).

A Profound Statement
The late Dr. Mayeroff, in his book selected for the prestigious World Perspectives Series, evidences everything he describes therein by taking seven plus years to produce this book. An intricate and turgid text describes every facet of caring in the contexts of author, artist and parent, etc. Killed in a tragic car crash on icy Upstate New York winter roads, his work is a tribute to his careful thought and careful teaching
