Sinopse

Discover Henry David Thoreau’s philosophy of living a good life and learn how to apply it to your own.   The hero for our time is someone few people get right. Thoreau wasn’t a hermit in the woods. He lived during a time like ours, of rapid technological and economic changes, political division, and a pandemic. Thoreau, like us, reassessed his priorities: What does success really look like? What is my duty as an ethical citizen of a less-than-ethical world? How can I live a good life amid (insert hand-sweeping gesture) all of this?   His solution: Pare down to trade up.  Finding Your Walden combines classic literature with happiness studies, exploring how experts—psychologists, career coaches, and doctors—support Thoreau’s ideas as guideposts for today’s Great Reassessment. It combines insights of the 1854 classic with people who embrace the pare-down-to-trade-up philosophy today, whether through major life changes (such as tiny homes or sabbaticals) or smaller life hacks (like digital sabbaths or meditation practices). Their stories inspire us to apply creativity, simplicity, and peace to the experiment of life.  Finding Your Walden isn’t about shunning money or success. It’s about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Whether you love Walden or haven’t read it, you can join Thoreau on a path to discover an intentional life during a volatile time—you just need to make a stop at a cabin on the way.

    Compassion is a fundamental human quality, one that transcends individual differences and connects us to one another in profound ways. It is often described as the ability to feel and show concern for the suffering of others, accompanied by a desire to alleviate that suffering. At its core, compassion involves recognizing the pain or distress someone else is experiencing and responding with kindness, empathy, and support. This emotional response is not just about feeling for someone else; it is about acting in ways that may help them through their difficult times. 
    The essence of compassion lies in empathy, which is the ability to deeply understand and share the feelings of another. When we empathize with someone, we can put ourselves in their shoes, imagining their emotional and physical states. Compassion takes this a step further, as it compels us to act in a way that can alleviate or ease their suffering. It is more than simply being moved by someone’s pain; it is the drive to do something about it, whether through words of encouragement, acts of service, or offering comfort. 
    It is important to distinguish compassion from sympathy. Sympathy involves feeling pity or sorrow for someone else's misfortune, but it lacks the proactive component that characterizes compassion. While sympathy may evoke a response such as feeling sad for someone, compassion urges us to take action in a positive way. Compassion connects us to others through action and intention, and it is through this action that we create genuine bonds and meaningful relationships.

    Holocaust survivor Henry Melnick was born in Lodz, Poland. Shortly after the Nazis occupied Poland in 1939, he was sent to perform slave labour in the Nowy Sącz, Tarnów, and Szebnie ghettos and work camps. He was then transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buna, Dora-Mittelbau and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. 
    When his parents were murdered in the Nazi death camp of Belżec, he became the sole survivor of his entire family. After liberation, Henry volunteered for the Israeli Army and fought for Israel’s independence. He came to Canada in 1965 with his wife Hela and their two children. 
    His story is one of strength and courage. His survival is nothing short of a miracle.
