Changing Destinies by Louis H. Falik is the biography of Professor Reuven Feuerstein written by Louis H. Falik. In this memoir, Louis H. Falik captures the experience and honor of working alongside Prof. Feuerstein and his many contributions. The author goes into detail about Professor Feuerstein�s accomplishments and the techniques he created. We get an in-depth look at Feuerstein�s life as it progresses in time.
Author Falik explores Feuerstein�s ancestry, culture, lifestyle, works, and thoughts, and much of the information in the book is from the professor himself. While covering the events of the personal life of Reuven, he has also elaborated in detail on the political and social conditions of those times. The Jewish culture has been explored and explained, people�s situation and mental faculties when war wages have been depicted, the way the family struggled with happiness and sorrow, Reuven�s love for his family, work, colleagues, and many more instances make the protagonist a real personality.
Reuven was not just a professor but a person who impacted many lives throughout his life. He was involved with many active groups that helped in the betterment of society. Reuven�s impact on the academic community is vast, and this garners a special place in history for him. He was focused on the welfare of the people. His researches and actions were help-oriented. He wanted the world to be a better and more accessible place for people on the borderlines instead of just revolving around a few privileged ones.
The author�s writing comes off as scholarly and packed with research and theories. The facts are there, the events described in detail, but the feeling of exhilaration after reading about Reuven�s success or the sorrows after reading about his challenges touched me emotionally. Overall, this memoir contains a lot of substance and information filled with Reuven�s accomplishments and how he impacted the people who came into contact with him. I will recommend this book to people who want to know each and every life achievement of Professor Reuven Feuerstein, especially if they are taking courses in Psychology.
