A modern-day Book of Virtues, this bedside book of wisdom provides clear and simple insights on the issues of life.
Drawing on the insights put forth in his widely praised book, Letters to My Son, award-winning author Kent Nerburn offers clear and gentle guidance of such central life experiences as love, work, possessions, strength, solitude, and death.
This is a profound book, deeply informed by the spiritual traditions of the West, Far East, and the Native Americans with whom the author has worked for many years. It speaks from honest authority and a strong moral focus. Its simple format and beautiful presentation make it ideal for the intelligent gift-giver who is looking for a small treasure of wisdom about life's deepest issues.
"No matter how you choose to deal with money, you need to keep one shining truth before you at all times: Money is nothing more than a commodity, an agreed upon abstraction of exchange. It is the spirit of that exchange that animates money and gives it meaning. Great givers, rich and poor, use money to bring light into this world. Great hoarders, rich and poor, use money to close doors between us. Be a giver and a sharer, and all else will take care of itself."
--from Simple Truths
Kent Nerburn is th author of Letters to My Son, Neither Wolf Nor Dog, an editor of Native American Wisdom, The Soul of an Indian, and The Wisdom of the Great Chiefs. Also an accomplished sculptor, he lives with his family in Bemidji, Minnesota.
