Reviews from Prisoners Reading "Stepping Up"

Prisoners are starting to respond to "Stepping Up: Wholeness Ethics for Prisoners and Those Who Care About Them"!

"Chapman has managed to reopen the discussion of 'the meaning' of life. It all boils down to our relationships and the quality of them depends on how we live them as part of the whole instead of apart from the whole. He has managed to do so in an entertaining, enlightening and inclusive way, which is seldom the tone attributed to most ethical discussions or schools of thought. While turning his own life around, he has given hope to others in similar situations and should inspire the masses who are willing to look for/toward their larger selves. Chapman should be commended for having the courage to seek his larger self and to be vulnerable enough to share it with others. In doing so he has managed to give many the very 'wholistic justice' he speaks of, giving us what we need to be whole, not necessarily what is deserved for not being so. All that is left is for each of us to 'step up.'"

From the book jacket:

Men and women in prison are seen by society as problems and burdens. This book begins with a different premise: that you can be a solution, not only in the world but in your own life as well. It's about a way of living called wholeness ethics and it's based on the simple truth that we find our own wholeness only in right relationship with the world.

From the perspective of his 30 years behind bars, author Troy Chapman offers a roadmap for living this truth and moving toward soundness, well-being and the realization of one's larger purpose. Distilling experience to four essential relationships - with yourself, others, the transcendent and nature - Chapman shows how to consider each in the light of ethical thinking and restore wholeness to each one.

With down-to-earth examples and language, compassion and good humor, this book will help you "step up" to your true purpose, transform your life and your relationships, and help create a better world in the process.

“… It was about stepping up as a man and deciding to serve my larger self rather than my smaller self. It was a decision to no longer be governed by my feelings, my pain, my failures, limitations or circumstances, but rather to be governed by a clear vision based on what I love rather than what I fear. And it was about making some atonement for the harm I had caused in this world.” —Troy K. Chapman in Stepping Up
