The Lessons of Aloha

Brother Noland’s motivational classic, The Lessons of Aloha: Stories of the Human Spirit, is the definitive book on aloha. This hardcover edition of the best-selling book is a unique collection including inspirational new stories and old favorites, told by island people in their own words — an O‘ahu baseball scout, a Big Island wasabi farmer, legendary kupuna Winona Beamer and many others. Here are nearly 50 remarkable islanders — teachers and coaches, artists and entrepreneurs, healers and heroes — each with a message reflecting time-honored local values and the spirit of aloha, introduced by popular entertainer and cultural pioneer Brother Noland, with dramatic portraits by award-winning photographer Shuzo Uemoto. Among them: farmers and fishermen who learn from the land, business executives who give back to the community; kupuna who keep the old island ways alive; plain folks who’ve conquered addiction and personal tragedy, and long-time residents of Kalaupapa.
