Wijayanto Samirin, Fulbright student program alum who earned his Master’s in Public Policy from Georgetown University, successfully launched his second book entitled Window of the Heart on Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at the Paramadina University Graduate School in Jakarta. There were some 70 in the audience, including former Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Jusuf Kalla, former Indonesian Ambassador to the U.S. and Chair of the Central Bank Arifin Siregar, Businessman Sandiaga Uno, Fulbrighter Anies Baswedan who is Rector of Paramadina University and member of the AMINEF Board of Trustees, and Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Rector Komaruddin Hidayat.

The book is about the plentiful meanings and wisdoms embedded in our daily life. We would only comprehend them if and when we let our heart and mind open to their disclosure. Window of the Heart is a reflection of the day to day realities which have abundant lessons to learn.

Wijayanto is Deputy Rector of Paramadina University and Managing Director of Paramadina Public Policy Institute. Being a graduate from Gadjah Mada University and Georgetown University, he believes that learning is the essence of our being as a human being. One of the best source for the learning process is what is available around us.
