Irwin Kula explores our need for connection and relationships in this
thought provoking and motivational half-hour. This episode’s “simple
wisdom” is that the meaning and the quality of our lives are directly
related to the depth of our connection to others.
Irwin draws his teachings from sources
that are ancient and contemporary, from sources that include the
deepest wisdom of the Jewish tradition and the findings of today's
most insightful thinkers and spiritual explorers. A lifetime of
study and teaching combine with a pragmatic sense for what is most
true to our own experience to yield the lessons that he sets forth
in the Simple Wisdom series.
Wanting to share with you the sources
that have been so important to the development of his own teaching,
he places some of them before you here, hoping that they will
inspire and enliven your own untracked adventure in living.
