Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Ancient wisdom for difficult modern times.

Kia ora

Welcome to Aroha.

Aroha is an ancient Maori word and way of thinking that means love, compassion, respect and empathy. Discover how we can all find greater contentment and kindness for ourselves, each other and our world with more Aroha in our lives.

Through 52 whatatauki - traditional Maori life lessons - Maori psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder shares the power of Aroha and explores how it could help us all every day.

Family, community, a sense of place, looking after each other and living in tune with the natural world are all fundamental to traditional Maori culture. Aroha gives the All Blacks pride, unity and heart. It is understandable that New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern chose to call her daughter Neve Te Aroha.

The 52 life lessons are arranged into four chapters that introduce the different, important facets of 'Aroha: Manaakitanga' (kindness), 'Kaitiakitanga' (love for our world), 'Whanaungatanga' (empathy) and 'Tino rangatiratanga' (what is right).

Respected Maori psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder offers a uniquely insightful perspective that can help us all in our daily lives.

Ki te kotahi te kakaho ka whati, ki te kapuia, e kore e whati.

When we stand alone we are vulnerable but together we are unbreakable.

Beautiful

Peaceful and a deep insight of the meaning Aroha. Dr Elder, has a calming voice which fits perfectly with her description of Aroha. I love Maori culture, my partner is Maori. So this book helped me understand Maori more.
Thank you

Utterly lovely

Beautifully written and read this is a truly educational and inspiring book. With many great examples and descriptions. It made me miss the enchanting Weiheke Island and those on it.
