Learning to Like Life: A Tribute to Lowell Bennion

This book is meant to honor Lowell Bennion's legacy by reflecting on what he taught and practiced in his own life, and thinking about what this can mean in our own lives today. All of Doc's aphorisms imply a simple principle: our goodness and happiness must begin in the heart and depend on the quality of our affections, and, perhaps most importantly, we have the capacity to change those affections through a kind of cultivation. "Learn to like," he repeats. Don't assume that what you like is unchangeable, deeply rooted in your personality like some genetic code. Our affections stem from what we serve and devote ourselves to, and even if we don't yet love as we should, it is enough to want to love better, more deeply, more generously. And loving is a way of practicing what we like. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Birch Creek Service Ranch, which continues the spirit of what Lowell Bennion began and which needs your support.

While definitely written for an LDS audience, this book has plenty of applications to everyone, regardless of faith tradition. It's the kind of book that deserves multiple reads, and the kind of book I savored, instead of reading in one sitting, so I could process the advice. Proceeds go to a charity, so I had no problem paying for it--it's a steal at twice the price. ( )
