“I have known Illens for 13 years, and I feel fortunate. Through his leadership by example, tireless service-oriented efforts, and smarts he’s shown me that good guys can finish last. This book is aptly called, as I’ve seen him dedicate himself to bettering the world and those around him. You will get to truly learn from one of the best mentors around and find key principles that will impact your life in a significant way. Read, Apply, Grow!” —Arnauld-Joel Nakaha

Review of “Thinking and Acting with a compassionate heart”

“Illens Dort has chosen a powerful, but neglected topic of “Compassion” and shown how it is an essential element of success.  

Many prominent leaders from the pages of history have risen to power by military conquest with seeming disregard for suffering or death. They were dictators full of ambition but devoid of empathy. In contrast, this book has identified lessons of wisdom to combine passion and compassion. 

Memorable ideas that stuck with me are how to deal with information overload, how success and failure are twins and how practice is just as real as the application that follows it.

The stories are unique and compelling.  The advice is validated by the integrity of the author.  He has compassion. He has yielded a great harvest among those he has touched.” —Brett Littke, Registered Nurse

Thank you for your time!!!  Illens Dort – authour of Thinking and Acting with a Compassionate Heart.

I want to share a gift with you. Books are some of the best gifts I have received. Each gift has two dimensions; the act of giving and the act of receiving. The giver may give a gift. But the recipient must choose to receive the gift. Receiving does not mean simply accepting the gift. It means using the gift and appreciating it. 

Few years ago, a good friend of mine gave me a book. He knew I would enjoy the book. Since I had a list of books to read, I placed that book on the shelve in my library. The book stayed there for 2 years. One day, during the Christmas break, I decided to open the book. After I opened it I could not put it down. I asked myself “Why didn’t you open that book 2 years ago? Maybe some of you can relate to that situation. That book was given to me with a great gift inside of it. I received the book. But I waited for 2 ways to receive the gift. After that experience I change my approach. I now do my very best to receive both the “book” and the “gift”. 

I have reduced the price of the e-book (Thinking and Acting with a Compassionate Heart) from $4.99 to $3.99 for the month of June only. During this weekend and Monday, the gift is that you can download the e-book for free. You may wonder why I am doing that. The answer is very simple. As a member of KDP Select, I can offer these promotions and share my book to add value to others. The print version is also on Amazon for $14.99 instead of the regular price of $19.95. After you have an opportunity to read the book, I would appreciate it if you could share your thought with us. However, this is not a condition for you to get the gift.  Happy reading during this beautiful spring time. 

It is my hope and desire that you will choose to receive both the book and the gift that is inside of it. To download the e-book or to get a copy, go to Amazon.com/author/illensdort. Feel comfortable to share this gift with members of your families and friends who want to download their own copy of the e-book. Act quickly. The promotion will end Monday evening. Go to https://www.amazon.com/author/Illensdort.Amazon to download your free e-book.

I want to take a moment to express gratitude to these people who have taken the time to read my book and share the impact the book had on them.

Those thoughts are captivating and uplifting — great for families, educators, business leaders and every individual who wants to make a difference in the world …. This wonderful book is both transformational and inter-generational. You will be delighted that you invested the time and energy to read this inspirational book. —Steven R. Shallenberger, Author of the National Best Selling, Becoming Your Best Global Leadership

 Thanks to Illens Dort for giving voice to such uplifting messages! Too often we are bombarded with written word that is divisive, perpetuates hatred of oneself or others, or seeks only to entertain. This book of aphorisms celebrates wholesome living by providing memorable thoughts to ponder daily. Great leaders thoughtfully consider their interactions with others (adults or children), eagerly self-reflect, and gratefully share their sources of strength. Illens’ messages in this book reflect a commitment to lead in this way and provide a similar invitation to us all.—Stessie D. Zimmerman, MD

 In a world where minds and hearts continually search for hope and enlightenment, Illens Dort offers a treasury of short aphorisms to inspire, encourage, and motivate. His core momentum of creativity is energized with this goal in mind: “What can I offer that is unique, distinctive, and inimitable for the audience to which I am reaching out?” What he produces is a wealth of brief gems that open one’s vision to the higher values of life and personal connectedness with those we love. His flowing archive of sayings offers simple but memorable strategies to make each day more meaningful and productive. Illens is a person of great charity with a global outreach to bless many lives and families around the world. Please explore his offerings and see how your life, too, can be enriched and edified through his succinct reminders of wisdom and truth. —R. J. Allen, Ph.D., Author and Educator

 What is so amazing about Illens’ aphorisms is the ability for each one to resonate differently with each person depending on the phase of life and the world around them at the time. What resonates so strongly with me today might be completely different when I read this book again in 6 months or a year. —Danielle Norman, MBA Student and Mother of Two

 To consume the words of Illens Dort in his new book of aphorisms is to step back in time to place of wisdom and essence, connecting spirit and resonance to modern day application in business and life. This book can very quickly change your life. Few have served so faithfully a life building community, and Illens’ shared gift in script with inspire every reader to live so profoundly. Jason Hewlett, CSP, CPAE – Speaker Hall of Fame – Jason@jasonhewlett.com
