DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy!" Noah Levine, author of Against the Stream"I was absolutely fascinated. I love the variety of people she has interviewed and so many unique responses!" Cathy Duffy, author, speaker, educational curriculum expert"Reminiscent of Socrates in the Golden Age of Greece; listening to others is an exalted virtue--and Levison has it in spades. "Catherine asks all of the right questions and gets some very insightful answers. This is a great book for all who care about the big questions in life. She has modeled for us what it means to truly listen as if people matter." Dennis Okholm, author of Monk Habits for Everyday People. An intriguing study, sure to raise important questions about imagination and the afterlife--and compel readers to discover the answers." Douglas Bond, author of The Betrayal"I immediately resonated with Catherine Levison's b
The conversations included forty-two people from all over the world and from every economic and educational level. No One Ever Asked Me That is a fun yet important book designed for people from all walks of life.. Why are we here and where do we go when we die? Catherine Levison was intrigued by topics like this from an early age and this interest in meaningful conversations led her to develop a series of questions to enable others to speak comfortably on deep issues. They also represent a wide variety of religious and scientific backgrounds. The results are thought-provoking, often surprising and make this a truly unforgettable book. Her book compiles interviews, held over the course of more than a decade with a diverse group of people, from monks, to teachers, to dish washers as well as a bank president, a neurosurgeon and a marine biologist
Intriguing This was a very different sort of work. Asking all sorts of people the kinds of questions that all of us think about - what are you all about, what is important in your life, what does the afterlife and eternity mean to you - this was intriguing. Some people came across as fascinating, others as almost unaware of the the deep issues of life, but all of it gave good insights as to how people think, what they think about, and how they see the world around them. Some of it. Uplifting and refreshing. And FUN! "Kids say the darndest things" is NOTHING compared to what adults will say in Catherine's surprising and uplifting book, "No One Ever Asked Me That". Leading people to sort out their own ideas and to reflect on complex concepts like "imagination" and "soul", she gets some very revealing responses. Particularly surprising was the depth of responses from seemingly "ordinary" people, and some "huh?" responses from those who have intellectual pursuits as their life work. Pe. "No One Ever Asked Me That" according to amd. Wonderful read so far. This is one of those books that you take your time with, answering the questions yourself before you read others responses. A very thought provoking book.
