Wisdom of the Ages: 60 Days to Enlightenment

"What do our ancestral scholars, whom we consider the wisest and most spiritually advanced, have to say to us today?" asks Dyer. The answer lies in this collection of writings, poems, and sayings by some of the greatest thinkers of the past twenty-five centuries. In succinct original essays, Dyer sets out to explain the meaning and context of each piece of wisdom, and to explain how we can actively apply these teachings to our modern lives. Sixty ancestral masters, including Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, Jesus, Emily Dickinson, and Emerson, we find treasured passages on a variety of subjects, including solitude, time, and passion.
