A beautiful and enriching guide to thinking about our interactions with others, this book by Jorge Bucay urges us to reflect on how our encounters with our peers allow us to grow internally. While the conquest of self-realization is an individual task, it can’t be achieved without relationships and the help of others. The key is to love one another and to surrender to and enrich the company of others. “Without the interactions of others,” declares Bucay, “we aren’t healthy. Without others’ existence, our lives would be empty although our houses may be full with expensive possessions.”
