To Selflessly Love Others is Challenging But Necessary for Survival, Psychiatrist Says

Crozet, Virginia, December 6th, 2024

In his immensely topical #book for our time, “Kindness, Dignity, and Respect: Kind Ways to Dignify, Respect, and Love One Another”, Dr. Robert S. Brown shares actual case histories of how lives are measurably improved when people treat each other with kindness, dignity and respect, even when they have different views of life, gender, race, ethnicity, education or religion.

“On the macro level, we often hear ‘we are a divided nation,’ an undeniable fact, but on the micro level, the ill-defined suffering such a divided nation inflicts upon its people needs our attention”, Dr. Brown said. “Learning to selflessly love others is proving to be challenging but essential if we are to survive.”

#Kindness, #Dignity and #Respect is Dr. Brown’s Christian testimony, as he traces his own life trajectory from his humble beginnings to achieving his dream of becoming a soldier. He went on to graduate from the University of Virginia Medical School and became a psychiatrist focused on PTSD in soldiers. Throughout his extraordinary life and career, he remained grounded in his unwavering faith, and says he found no greater remedy for life’s inevitable cycles of despair and hopelessness than the authentic love shown to humanity through the life of Jesus carefully recorded in the #Bible.

“It is not easy to love God whom we have not seen with our eyes, and just as challenging to love our neighbors we sometimes do not want to see”, Dr. Brown said. “I believe the very first steps, like the steps of an infant learning to walk, in loving our neighbors, so badly needed today, is to begin by treating all others with kindness, dignity and respect … expecting nothing in return.”

Woven with true stories and scriptures that embody the essence of what it means to be kind and respectful, and to treat others with dignity, Kindness, Dignity, and Respect provides readers with a detailed blueprint for living a life of compassion toward all humanity.

“No matter how difficult or simple it may seem, try to fulfill God’s commandments, treat others with #kindness, dignity and respect”, Dr. Brown added. “It is the proven way to a flourishing life and world peace.”
