Book Description
In The Silent Question, Packer provides fresh insights on using the experiences of life that are raw, messy, painful, and sometimes full of laughter, to open a way to compassion. She urges us to let go of our thoughts and to sit "in the stillness of not knowing" in order to reflect upon the essential question of who we are. Packer encourages us to discover that life, energy, and insight come from the questioning, the looking, the listening.

A Heart Trace through the Digital World is a beautifully written and inspiring account of a man's experience and resolution of his wife's battle with cancer. Haitao Tang chronicles his experiences, his fears, and his sorrow while he and his wife worked diligently side by side through her disease. In the impersonal, digital world we have created, Haitao's message shines as a living example of how we all must reconnect in a human way to not only give voice to those who suffer from chronic or terminal illnesses but to recognize them as a valued and respected members of society. Tang and his wife, both scientists, discovered the power of positive thinking, the effect of active fighting with a terminal illness, the huge value of treasuring life until the last moment, and the great importance of sharing their knowledge with others who may be going through the physical and emotional pain of a terminal illness. Tang's poignant and intelligent narration will encourage you to recognize the humanness in all of us and our responsibility to respect our differences and embrace our common bond-we are mortals in a changing world.Through sharing our experiences we become immortal as we touch another life. Haitao Tang is a scientist and engineer living in Helsinki, Finland. A Heart Trace through the Digital World is his first book.
