Daniel Gottlieb

    January 1, 1946

    Daniel Gottlieb is a psychologist and radio host whose work delves into the profound aspects of the human experience. Having navigated immense personal loss, his writing and broadcasts focus on themes of loneliness, compassion, and finding peace amidst suffering. Through his popular call-in radio show and past newspaper columns, he offers insights into what it means to be human and how to foster connection in a complex world. His core philosophy, simply stated as "Gottlieb. Human.", underscores the fundamental human longing for contact, empathy, and understanding.

      "The Wisdom We're Born With explores the desire to live that we carry with us from birth. While some people may believe that it's impossible to acquire perspective like Gottlieb's without a similarly catastrophic life experience, the fact is that every infant possesses a raw need to keep on going. Gottlieb's book awakens us to the idea of our natural perspective, traces the growth and diminishment of that perspective over the years, and brings us back to advanced age, where it recurs once more. If we are aware of this capacity in ourselves, we can actively nurture it, enabling ourselves to embrace the desire to live and grow every day, whether we're joyful or in the grip of a powerful depression. In a time of anxiety and worry, Gottlieb's words provide comfort and strength-if we can remember the wisdom we're born with, we can possess a limitless energy to keep fighting"--

      Cuando nació su nieto, Daniel Gottlieb comenzó a escribir una serie de cartas conmovedoras que esperaba que Sam leyera más adelante en su vida. Planeaba abordar todos los temas importantes: cómo tratar con los padres, lidiar con los matones, enamorarse, afrontar la muerte; y lo que lo motivaba era el miedo a no vivir lo suficiente para ver a Sam alcanzar la adultez. Daniel Gottlieb es cuadripléjico, resultado de un accidente automovilístico casi fatal que ocurrió hace dos décadas, y sabe lo suficiente como para no dar nada por sentado. Luego, cuando Sam tenía solo 14 meses, fue diagnosticado con discapacidad del desarrollo generalizada, una forma de autismo, y de repente todo cambió. Ahora el abuelo y el nieto estaban unidos por algo más: una discapacidad, y la comprensión especial de Daniel Gottlieb sobre lo que eso significa se volvió invaluable. Este libro, escrito con amor y de manera emocionalmente conmovedora, ofrece perspectivas únicas y universales sobre lo que significa ser humano.
