Description:Words of Wisdom: a Thinker's Palette (eBook Introduction)First released by Harper Collins, this book has, I am grateful to say, found an enthusiastic readership in recovery groups and at "spirituality" centers.Based on anecdotal evidence from readers, the reason for its popularity in these particular place is owed, I infer, to the awareness that it is not a ”Self-Help” book, per se. Rather, it is more a handbook of inquiry. Commonly, within the Self-Help book genre, one encounters titles such as, “The Twelve Ways to Fulfill Your Potential,” “The Ten Laws of Success,” “The Nine Secrets of Love,” “The Seven Steps to a Happy Life,” etc.Inside such books, it is generally the case that each chapter begins with a pithy sentence by the author, which he or she then elaborates upon, with the final chapter being a summation, a “this is what you should have learned.” To my mind, this formulaic approach is useful for technical manuals, instruction booklets, or training guides, but not for “self-help“ books. Why? Precisely because it is their--the authors--learning, and implicit in such deep, abstract notions as love, success, truth, happiness, and so on, is that each of us has to do our own thinking ("know thyself") .With a unique insight for each calendar day of the year, the reader will discover in the this book nuggets of wisdom from such luminaries as Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Carl Jung, Confucius, Martin Luther King, Jr., Virginia Woolf, David Gilbert, St. Francis, Plato, and many more.My reflections on the quotations in these pages are simply that: my particular interpretations of the ideas and insights presented, which the reader may or may not find useful.In the end, my aspiration for those that read this book is that its content will (as indeed happened to me during its composition) stimulate contemplation and introspection or; in a word, thought.Scott GallagherWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
