Despite the prejudice and hate he faced, this self-described \"turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh\" refused to give in to negativity. Instead, Singh delved deep into the Sikh teachings that he grew up with and embraced the lessons to seek the good in every person and situation and to find positive ways to direct his energy. These Sikh tenets of love and service to others have empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that have made him a national figure in the areas of equity, inclusion, and social justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Light We Give\u003c\/i\u003e lays out how we can learn to integrate ethical living to achieve personal happiness and a happier life. It speaks to those who are inspired to take on positive change but don't know where to begin. To those who crave the chance to be empathetic but are afraid of looking vulnerable. To those who seek the courage to confront hatred with love and compassion. Singh reaches beyond his comfort zone to practice this deeper form of living and explores how everyone can learn the insights and skills that have kept him engaged and led him to commit to activism without becoming consumed by anger, self-pity, or burnout. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Part memoir, part spiritual journey, \u003ci\u003eThe Light We Give\u003c\/i\u003e is a transformative book of hope that shows how each of us can turn away from fear and uncertainty and move toward renewal and positive change.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimran Jeet Singh, Ph.D \u003c\/b\u003eis Executive Director for the Religion \u0026amp; Society Program at the Aspen Institute and a visiting professor of history and religion at Union Theological Seminary.
