The Heart Has Its Reasons: Looking Back Looking Ahead by Ignatius Fernandez is an uplifting and philosophical book that helps readers reflect on life and God. The book speaks about the importance of relationships in one's life and reminds readers of the things that really matter. The author speaks about our attitude in youth when we feel confident about ourselves and our skills and how it slowly wanes with aging. Most of us tend to carry the mistakes we made into our old age too. The author stresses the thought that the wealth in our lives is not measured by money but by the relationships we have.
The book is inspirational and motivational and makes us ponder about life and relationships. The author tells readers to take stock of their neglected resources and start looking at life with a different perspective. Readers are encouraged to praise others when they do good things, appreciate the niceness and kindness in others which we tend take for granted, and many other things which we consider trivial in daily life. Evil comes into our lives in many ways, sometimes self-inflicted, sometimes beyond our control, and many times perpetrated by evildoers.
The book is profound and it tells us to have a good attitude towards pain. Pain is an unconditional healer and, as the author rightfully puts it, it hurts to heal. Readers are told to love people and not use them. I would recommend this book to all readers as it is a good guide to improve things in life.
