Synopsis
Harold Kushner's book is for anyone who has experienced guilt, anger, depression, and disappointment because they have measured themselves against standards that are impossibly high. With generosity and wisdom, Kushner shows why people are not meant to be perfect, and why we need not fear the loss of God's love when we make mistakes. He reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives--and help us to meet the challenge of being human.

Publisher's Note
A book that puts human shortcomings in perspective--and explains how we can better love ourselves and others.
From the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People comes an inspiring new bestseller that puts human feelings of guilt and inadequacy in perspective - and teaches us how we can learn to accept ourselves and others even when we and they are less than perfect. How Good Do We Have to Be? is for everyone who experiences that sense of guilt and disappointment. Harold Kushner, writing with his customary generosity and wisdom, shows us how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God's love when we are less than perfect. Harold Kushner begins by offering a radically new interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve, which he sees as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost: eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human, complete with the richness of work, sexuality and child-rearing, and a sense of our mortality. Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology, and his own thirty years of experience as a congregational rabbi, Harold Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives and help us meet the bold and rewarding challenge of being human.

Industry reviews
"Harold Kushner's new book speaks softly but clearly to a world insanely moralistic and judgmental. If there were a quick fix for our troubled globe, it would be the profoundly tolerant message, teeming with humanity, at the heart of this book."
Advertisement - Thomas Moore 

"There is great healing in Harold Kushner's storytelling. He brings new clarity to our acceptance of human imperfections, our belief in our wholeness, the power of love and forgiveness, and our faith that God is always present, loving us totally and unconditionally."
Publisher's Catalog - Gerald G. Jampolsky 

"If there were a quick fix for our troubled globe, it would be the profoundly tolerant message, teeming with humanity, at the heart of this book."
Publisher's Catalog - Thomas Moore 

"Use it to heal yourself....Amid the psychological tyranny of our gotta-have-it lives, Kushner gives us a tool box to fix our broken souls."
Mount 

"Kushner again strikes deep emotional chords....His authoritative and caring voice, as sensitive as it is wise, is as familiar and comfortable as that of an old family friend."
Mount
