Book Reviews of HO'OPONO
Book Review: Beautiful Book About Hawaiian Culture
Summary: 5 Stars
*****
This book was an outstanding introduction to Hawaiian culture, told through the eyes of the author. It is a personal book, part memoir, and filled with Hawaiian mo`olelo (stories) that describe the true Hawaiian culture. It is more personal than comprehensive, and does indeed discuss "the Hawaiian way", helping me to understand the intricacies of this complex (and, paradoxically simple, too) and precious way of life, and how and why it has conflicted so with the Euro-American way of living. The author does this through personal stories and gentle explanations, showing more than telling, and helping the reader to appreciate the beauty of an exotic and wonderful culture.
The author discusses the concept of mana, the importance of the `ohana to Hawaiians, `aumakua...and popular misunderstandings as well, including much about huna. It is a beautifully illustrated book with simple black-and-white drawings that add beauty and some personal photos as well. Most importantly, it is a Hawaiian book, done in the Hawaiian way (which is non-linear), including genealogy, and most importantly, stories...it was a treasure to read. It includes a glossary for the many unfamiliar Hawaiian words.
Reading this book felt like a privilege. I feel like the author's culture was being shared with me in a vulnerable and gentle way that gave me so much insight and appreciation for her and for the Hawaiian people.
Highly recommended.

Summary of HO'OPONO
The Hawaiian Way to Put Things Back into Balance! A uniquely Hawaiian concept, ho'o (to do or make) plus pono (righteous, balanced, forgiven, alligned, proper) was once how every Hawaiian strived to live. It reflects our true spiritual essence, living in harmony with the community and 'ohana (family), and guided and protected by our kupuna (elders) and 'aumakua (ancestors; guardian angels). Lee's newest book shares stories sure to give you chills, as you learn about the wisdom and mana (power) of pre-contact Hawai'i.Historiography Books
