Produktbeschreibung
Author Denis Leveille, Ph.D. has lived an amazing, often challenging, life: He came to the United States at age ten speaking only French. Later, as a therapist, he became a pioneer in researching and counseling those with some of the most challenging psychological conditions such as incest and other sexual crimes. He has lost friends and students to suicide and murder. Yet through it all, Leveille has held love as our most important resource and gift. If we maintain the positives of being human, including our generosity and our validation of others, we can survive life's difficulties. He wrote his memoir, Pursuing Wisdom, originally for his family, but he came to see it as having benefit for others as well. Primarily, he hopes that readers will be inspired to write their own story-the good, the bad, and the ugly. You don't have to publish, as Leveille did-just be brutally honest with yourself and see what good comes of that into your life. You know, just a simple "hello how are you" can be the first, meaningful step in connecting with others.
Autorenporträt
Originally from French Canada, Dr. Denis Leveille earned his doctorate from the University of Denver in 1983. He and his wife, Patricia, have been married 54 years, and they have three sons and six grandchildren. Over the years, he and his wife traveled throughout the world. They lived in West Germany for four years, where Denis worked for the U.S. Army mostly as a psychologist, and he was a race relations instructor for four years while in the Air Force in the early 70s. He also was in private practice for over 35 years. Through his employment, life experiences, and senseless tragedies, he saw firsthand and truly understands the anguish that many humans face.
