How to Human

Carlos Whittaker

Whittaker invites readers to see Jesus, regardless of their beliefs, as a model of authenticity and compassion, encouraging us to reconnect with our true selves by embracing joy and kindness. Once we begin this journey of self-discovery, the next step is to engage with others and truly see them for who they are, as illustrated by the story of Phillip and the Ethiopian court official. Phillip’s willingness to bridge cultural, racial, and sexual differences by stepping into the official’s chariot exemplifies the importance of joining others on their journeys to understand their humanity. Whittaker also explores the idea of liberation—not through physical means but by freeing others emotionally and mentally to embrace their true selves. This can be achieved through the healing power of touch, as supported by both spiritual and scientific evidence, and through empathy, which requires us to share in others’ emotions, however uncomfortable. These acts of connection and understanding help us and those around us become our most authentic selves.
