Seeing Both: A Memoir of Chances
Goodman draws on his lived experiences of chance and meaningful coincidence, and on his teaching and writing about risk and safety, to share some insights about the seamless nature of chance on one’s road taken.
As the memoir opens, the author chances to meet and share tea with a Zen Buddhist monk in 1977, changing the course of Goodman’s career in an unlikely From philosophy, to electronics and computing.
Returning to Goodman’s beginnings in the 1950’s, the book recounts his participation in U.S. protests, including when Willard Straight Hall was occupied at Cornell University in 1969, and resistance to the Vietnam War. Through subsequent years in Canada of spiritual searching, and relationship- and career changes, he’s discovered how seeing a Both/And perspective in life encourages openness to possibilities.
