Judaism teaches that Torah (the collective wisdom of the tradition) provides the blueprint for human experience--and so the more of it we acquire, the more we gain a clearer, truer perspective on life and learn how to navigate its pathways. The phrase \"acquiring Torah\" is code for the process of internalizing this wisdom to bring about a genuine transformation of the inner self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In short, accessible chapters, this book describes forty-eight methods through which we can acquire Torah--and turns them into a straightforward practice. These methods include cultivating humility, joy, awe, good-heartedness, closeness with friends, not taking credit for oneself, judging others favorably, and so on. The fruit of working through each quality or method is a refined soul and a strong and open heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Morinis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611801524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611801521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trumpeter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 5.48w x 0.80d","brand":"Alan Morinis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984601186559,"sku":"9781611801521","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d778f553-54a3-45ed-923e-2b1f46c212a9.jpg?v=1683273197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-heart-in-mind-alan-morinis-9781611801521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
