Beschreibung
An author and human rights activist offers his inspiring approach to a happier, more ethical way of life by embracing Sikh teachings.

In More of This, Please, Simran Jeet Singh-a writer, educator, and human rights activist-shares a powerful approach to living a purposeful and rewarding life. Growing up in Texas the son of Indian immigrants, he has confronted racism, bullying, and ethnic slurs throughout his life: at school, on the athletic field, in his San Antonio neighborhood and on the streets of New York City. Instead of growing bitter or angry, Singh drew from Sikh teachings to seek out the good in every situation and find positive ways to direct his energy. These tenets of love, caring, and service to others have empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that have brought him deep happiness and made him a national figure in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.

More of This, Please is a new approach to building a personal vision of ethical living in which love, sincere caring, and service to others go hand in hand with personal happiness. This book speaks to those who are inspired to take on positive change but don't know where to begin. To those who crave the chance to be compassionate but are afraid of being vulnerable. To those who seek the bravery to confront hatred with true love. As a self-described "brown-skinned, turban-wearing, bearded Sikh born and raised in Texas," Singh has spent his life reaching beyond his comfort zone to practice this deeper form of living. He believes that everyone can learn the skills and insights that have kept him engaged and led him to a commitment to activism without becoming consumed by anger, self-pity, or burnout. Part memoir, part spiritual journey, More of This, Please is a transformative book of hope that shows how each of us can turn away from uncertainty and fear and move toward renewal and positive change.

Zusammenfassung
A VOICE WE HAVEN'T HEARD: Simran Jeet Singh is both a skilled communicator and a thoughtful writer who shines new light on how to live with meaning and joy. He is a welcome new voice that offers readers insight and hope.

SIGNIFICANT PLATFORM: As an author, speaker, and public activist, Singh is well qualified both to tell his story and to explain Sikh wisdom to a wide audience. He's adept at bridging the chasm between ideology and humanity and is equally at home in both traditional media and on social media.

A BOOK TO SHARE: With its involving narrative, forthright tone, and powerful message, More of This, Please is a book that cries out to be shared and discussed with friends, family, and book clubs.

A BOOK ABOUT LIFE ISSUES: How we live and how we choose to live are more challenging today than ever. In prose that's direct, moving, and human, Singh lays out what he's learned from his Sikh teachings and how they've changed his outlook and attitude. It's a transforming and powerful read.

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE: Sikhism is one of the youngest of the world's major religions and the fifth-largest organized religion with about 30 million followers. Sikh teachings emphasize combining our spiritual development with our everyday moral conduct, which resonates today as never before.
