Kapwa - The Self in the Other

I do not want to go into a lengthy review of this book because there are some great reflections at the Babaylan Files and written by Barbara Jane Reyes who eloquently do so.

My personal notes about this book is that it is an essential collection of vignettes, stories, photos and history that must be explored to understand Kapwa - "togetherness", which is the philosophy of Filipino psychology.

I would strongly advise that any book listed above $$20 is a scam. The intention of the author was to provide an affordable book to all. Unfortunately, I learned this after the fact and was robbed blind!!! (darn it!)
