The Wisdom Is Here For The Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
One problem of our age is our perpetual worship of youth, innovation, and newness. If we ever stopped long enough to ponder, it seems to be over what else we can do to bring in the New. Mr. Fadiman has collected 36 different authors (scholars, scientists and clerics) to give us their mature wisdom on surviving--no, I mean, living, with meaning.Read this slowly. It is a full menu of healthy food. Read it with a pencil. Then re-read it next year. Herein is the wisdom of our betters.
