Read Online Freedom to Live: The Robert Hartman Story DOC
Robert Hartman's vision celebrated "the good" within each of us, thereby enriching our lives. By applying the principles of his Value Science on a broader scale, we may also enrich our world and make it a place of more "goodness" and peace. His own story helps us see how his life experiences, from childhood through adulthood, formed a mind that sought deeply to find the rich logic of goodness. It takes the reader from Germany through Europe and Mexico to the US, covering such topics as the impact of death-dealing on a young mind, the guest for goodness, the meaning of goodn, the three parts of the personality, the inner self, the opportunity to live, the measurement of value, the place of religion, a scientific approach to value, and the path to peace. As the Forward states, “A complete autobiography can never be written before the author is deceased; but by then it is too late. Robert S. Hartman completed his personal/ philosophical autobiography on Oct. 10, 1963, but he was to live for almost another ten eventful years, until Sept. 20, 1973. The rest of the story of his life is told by Arthur R. Ellis in the Appendix titled “Hartman’s Last Ten Years” which appears at the end of this volume. Hartman’s Freedom to Live: The Robert Hartman Story was written originally for presentation to management development seminars sponsored by Nationwide Insurance Company during 1962 and 1963 as a way of introducing businessmen to the man Robert S. Hartman and to his formal axiology.” Hartman was a man whose stories in his autobiography give us a rich, concrete understanding of times past and then draw us into deep reflection on the impact of these experiences for his development of his Value Science, and on the impact of his thinking on our world today. It is truly an unusual, enriching, and inspiring book!
