Der nunmehr 80-jährige verdichtet seine vielfältigen Lebenserfahrungen spielerisch leicht. Es macht ihm Spaß, Sprache beim Wort zu nehmen. Gewitzt spricht der Seelsorger nicht zuletzt über die letzten Dinge und redet offen über sich, von Mensch zu Mensch. Dies ist bereits das vierte Buch seit seiner Krebsdiagnose Anfang 2021.

The Human Climate starts with this idea: We are divided on the inside and on the outside-where we live, love, hate, or are frozen in fear. Unless we come to know our emotions better than we do, they will continue to control us.In this small yet provocative book, psychotherapist Carol Smaldino connects the personal with the political, the past with the present, and the individual with the global.She explores the human climate, a term she refers to as encompassing culture, assumptions, rules, mood, and the atmosphere of a given time and place. She sees addressing these elements as indispensable if we are to effectively resolve divisions related to social and global issues, and, our most intimate relationships.Smaldino shares clinical experiences, her own stories, and provides insightful reflections. The Human Climate offers us a way to face our shadows - places where we hide and try to bury (unconsciously) the parts of ourselves that we dislike. If we don't face and integrate our difficult emotions, we continue to demonize other nations, other people - even those we love and marry. In working through our resistance to change, we have the chance to access compassion and empathy.

This book gives testimonies of the exemplary life and death of Sister Felicitas Niyitegeka, the director of the Centre Saint-Pierre in Gisenyi, Rwanda. During the 1994 Genocide, she helped many Tutsi to escape by giving them shelter and helping to cross the border to Congo. Finally, when the militia arrived at her institute to kill all who had sought refuge, she voluntarily joined them into death, albeit having the choice - as a hutu and sister of an army colonel - to stay alive.

"The love and peace poems by international poet Ada Aharoni, are among the best in modern literature." (Saul Bellow, Nobel Laureate in Literature) "Rare Flower" by Ada Aharoni is a collection of moving, powerful and well-crafted poems, which has been compared to Jubran Khalil's "The Prophet." In brilliant poem after poem, Ada unfolds before our eyes new depths of human relations, the complexities and intricacies of love, and the joys and pains of life. Several of her poems have been put to music in a delightful manner. Influenced by the British Peace Poet, Wilfred Owen, whom she greatly admires, she powerfully denounces the whole concept and practice of War. As a woman and a mother, she condemns the killing of soldier-sons by involving them in war situations, and she clearly demonstrates that in our nuclear age, the continuation of the practice of war can dangerously lead to the end of humanity. Her beautiful, hopeful poems shed light and a deep comprehension of the possibilities of peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and the creation of "A Global Village Beyond War."
