Wisdom of the Ages


Book Description

National Bestseller This inspiring book by Wayne Dyer, author of the bestselling classics Your Erroneous Zones and Pulling Your Own Strings, delves into the teachings of intellectuals of our past to mine values and wisdom for the present. "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 powerful 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, most important, to explain how we can actively apply these teachings to our modern lives. From sixty ancestral masters – Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, Jesus, Emily Dickinson, and Emerson, among others – here are treasured passages on a variety of subjects, including solitude, time, and passion. Among the contributions are words on inspiration from Pantanjali, author of the Hindu classic Yoga Sutras; teachings about the power of prayer from 13th-century monk St. Francis of Assisi; and thoughts about the importance of action written by Mother Teresa. The voices collected here cut across a wide range of historical eras and cultures, yet they communicate universal truths about the human experience. Wisdom of the Ages provides us with a marvelous dual opportunity: to receive guidance from our great ancestors and to recognize our own potential for greatness




Wisdom Throughout the Ages


Book Description

As a Historian, Ive had the opportunity to study various cultures and their religious views, spiritual beliefs, and philosophical thoughts throughout the ages. While doing so, I came across many quotes, proverbs, and popular phrases. Some of these were very familiar, while others were obscure and/or variations of some more common sayings. I began collecting the ones that appeared to be anonymous, and even added a few of my own creation. I started utilizing this compilation for classroom review, student warm-up activities, and even as a means to entertain guests at my home. They help foster discussion, debate, and higher level thinking skills. Many of them are also motivating and inspirational. What I now share with you, took over fifteen years to collect and publish. I truly hope you find this collection as interesting, entertaining, and useful as I do. Best wishes through your lifes journeys. Enjoy and have fun
