Heartwarming, Real-Life Stories by Island People -- Told In Their Own Words
Brother Noland's motivational classic, The Lessons of Aloha: Stories of the Human Spirit, is the definitive book on aloha. Now published
for the first time in hardcover, this unique collection includes inspirational new stories and old favorites, told by island people in their own
words -- an O`ahu baseball scout, a Big Island wasabi farmer, legendary kupuna Winona Beamer and many others. Here are nearly 50 remarkable
islanders -- teachers and coaches, artists and entrepreneurs, healers and heroes -- each with a message reflecting time-honored local values and
the spirit of aloha, introduced by popular entertainer and cultural pioneer Brother Noland, with dramatic portraits by award-winning photographer
Shuzo Uemoto. Among them: farmers and fishermen who learn from the land, business executives who give back to the community; kupuna who keep the
old island ways alive; plain folks who've conquered addiction and personal tragedy, and long-time residents of Kalaupapa. Lessons offers insights
from Brother Noland's lifelong search for the meaning of aloha.
Hawaii's people have powerful stories to tell, exemplified by the inspirational tales in The Lessons of Aloha--Stories of the Human Spirit.
Popular Hawaiian entertainer Brother Noland and award-winning photographer Shuzo Uemoto introduce 40 remarkable islanders--teachers and coaches,
artists and entrepreneurs, healers and heroes. They are farmers and fishermen who learn from the land, executives who give back to the community,
kupuna (elders) who keep the old ways alive and plain folks whočve conquered addiction and personal tragedy--drugs, prostitution, physical handicaps,
a gunpoint hostage situation. These are the compelling, real-life stories of island people, told in their own words.
