Human Caring Literacy: A Narrative Exploration of Caring Science in Action

From advancing nursing as a discipline in South America to fostering peace in the Middle East, each chapter illustrates how mindfulness, authenticity, intentionality, and caring consciousness are cultivated to provide compassionate, heart-centered care.
