Gail Gutradt was at a crossroads in her life when she learned of the Wat Opot Children’s Community. Begun with just 50dollars in the pocket of Wayne Dale Matthysse, a former Marine Corps medic in Vietnam, Wat Opot, a temple complex nestled among Cambodia’s verdant rice paddies, was once a haunted scrubland that became a place of healing and respite where children with or orphaned by HIV/AIDS could live outside of fear or judgment, and find a new family—a place that Gutradt calls “a workshop for souls.”

Secretly a how-to book on living a fulfilling life
Revisado: 08-30-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is clearly not a self-help book that purports to impart wisdom about how to live a happy, meaningful life. Rather, on its face, it's the opposite. It appears to be a book about giving to the neediest and most innocent. But what it humbly accomplishes is exactly what the self-proclaimed guru guidebooks fail to: It shows us, through the stories of Wat Opot's children, how to live a fulfilling life. Listen.
