A classic work of Jewish ethical teaching

This work contains selections from one of the great teachers of Torah of the past generation. Rabbi Dessler began his studies in the Lithuania before the war, and made his way to London. Later he founded the first kollel in Western Europe in Gateshead. In the last part of his life he taught in Eretz Yisrael in the Yeshivah of Ponivezh. Rabbi Dessler was one of the great teachers of Mussar, the learning developed by Rabbi Israel Salanter to raise the level of Jewish ethical behavior. In this work we have many examples of Rabbi Dessler replying to his students, instructing them on the best way to live a true Torah life. These excerpts are insightful , and show a tremendous wisdom and human understanding. This work has become a classic of Jewish ethical teaching.

Great Book for any person from any religion

This book explores common assumptions and ideals which we take for granted, then it investigates them, proving them wrong and making us feel stupid. It's sort of a self-help book, while at the same time it is written with the classis "mussar" tone. Highly Reccomended.
