Foreword by Kevin Loucks
ОглавлениеThe Title of This Book Says it All
I’ve wanted to write a review of this book since I first read it more than a month ago, but I had so many thoughts in my head that I really didn’t know where to start. Finally, I realized that what I had to say was really very simple, and the title to this book says it all.
Michael Gluckman has a wonderful writing style that allows him to explain complicated ideas in a very accessible, conversational fashion. For me, however, the best part is that his premises are demonstrable through personal experience. Yes, that’s right, you can prove the truth of his assertions with the benefit of your own experience.
I personally came upon “Making Your Wisdom Come Alive” after many years of reading, studying and rereading other books, from the Bhagavad Gita to the Tao Te Ching, and many others. I understood and enjoyed on an intellectual level the things that were being said, but I always had trouble bridging the gap between my intellect and my experience. Finally, there came a point in time when I needed to experience what I was reading about first hand, but I wasn’t really sure how to do that. Michael Gluckman, and “Making Your Wisdom Come Alive” helped to start me on my way.
In the past month, since I first read Michael’s book, I have begun to see progress in applying the reality that I had been studying from a dry, scholarly perspective for so many years. This is a journey that requires patience, and attention to detail, but with Michael’s help, I am on my way.
In the meantime, the texts that I have been reading for all these years have “come alive” in new and wonderful ways, and I am seeing things all around me that I never noticed or appreciated. Also, my behavior is better generally, and the little silly things that I used to waste too much time worrying about are not so important any more.
Needless to say, all of this is not bad for the price of one small book....
I highly recommend “Making Your Wisdom Come Alive” because, as I said in the title to this review, the title of this book says it all. Michael Gluckman’s book does make your wisdom come alive, and much, much more.
