Dean Butler: Living the Prairie Way, Gebunden

Klappentext

Dean Butler, beloved star of Little House on the Prairie, shares the lessons he learned from the iconic television series in this inspiring guide for rediscovering how to get along, how to persevere, and how to find meaningful connection with families, friends, and communities.

Fifty years after it first aired, Little House on the Prairie remains one of television's most iconic and cherished shows---a place where everyone, regardless of age or background, can feel at home. Yet Little House did much more than entertain.

Executive Producer and series star Michael Landon drew from author Laura Ingalls Wilder's works to create a vision of how to live a good, decent life, and how to co-exist in a community even while navigating differences and disagreements. Those lessons continue to inspire Dean Butler, who starred as Laura's sweetheart, Almanzo Wilder. Now he distills them into an accessible, compulsively readable guide, blending stories from the show with personal observations and fascinating anecdotes.

Structured around 12 key themes, from the importance of interdependence to the power of forgiveness and empathy, Living the Prairie Way offers ways to balance what we need as individuals with what we owe to others.

Though filled with warmth and heart, Little House did not shy away from tragedy. Life on the prairie was far from easy. But the values and commitments that sustained the people of Walnut Grove helped them overcome discord and hardship---just as they can help us today. Practical, inspirational, and rooted in the show's boundless, clear-eyed optimism, here is a call to come home to those values and rediscover our best selves.
