Post Less: A Filipino Father Who Had No Word For Empathy, and the Daughter Who Didn't Need One","description":"\u003cp\u003eRead More, Post Less is a deeply reflective and emotionally intelligent memoir\/self-development book centered around empathy, identity, healing, education, family influence, and human connection in the modern world. Through powerful storytelling, personal memories, psychological insight, and philosophical reflection, the author explores how compassion, quiet acts of kindness, teachers, parents, and emotional presence shape a person's life far more than status, performance, or social media validation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book beautifully blends: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ememoir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epsychology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eemotional healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecultural reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeducation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eempathy research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epersonal growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esocial commentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the message is incredibly powerful: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople do not change lives through perfection or performance, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey change lives through empathy, presence, and making others feel seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's journey from a small village in the Philippines to presenting at UCSF while carrying the lessons of her father, teachers, and upbringing creates a deeply inspiring and emotionally resonant narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irene Laturnas Velasco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798240903922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Meridian Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Irene Laturnas Velasco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48743275954431,"sku":"9798240903922","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/read-more-post-less-irene-laturnas-velasco-9798240903922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
