Wisdom Of The Ages
by Wayne Dyer (9780732264512)

In his inspiring new book (1999), Wisdom of the Ages, bestselling author Dr. Wayne W. Dyer poses the question: What do our ancestral scholars, whom we consider the wisest and most spiritually advanced, have to say to us today?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 - including Jesus, Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Emerson - here are treasured passages on a variety of subjects, including solitude, time and passion.

Among the contributions are words on inspiration from Pantanjali (c. 1st to 3rd century B.C.), 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 are 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 marvellous dual opportunity: to receive guidance from our great ancestors and to recognise our own potential for greatness.
