In this guide to a simpler, saner life, the author has assembled 100 wise and witty epigrams designed to help readers achieve a sense of spiritual and emotional balance. Gleaned from the collective wisdom of Native American medicine men, masters, lamas, and street-corner philosophers, the aphorisms emphasize whole-brain thinking as a way to understand—and triumph over—life’s paradoxes. Timely and timeless, the book will remind readers of Robert Fulgum and the down-to-earth wisdom of “Peanuts” even while its compelling world view remains strikingly original.
