I journeyed from university to university, and I saw everywhere the past
rebuilt before the eyes of young men and young women - Egypt,
Greece, Rome; language, architecture, laws - saw the earth and sky
explained, and the habits of the body- Everywhere
chairs of this and that, largely endowed. But
nowhere saw I a chair of the human heart.
Max
Ehrmann
Max
Ehrmann was born in Terre Haute, Indiana on September 26, 1872, to a
an emigrant family from Bavaria, Germany.
Ehrmann
received his early education from the Terre Haute Fourth District
School and the German Methodist Church. Upon
graduation, Ehrmann studied law and philosophy at Harvard and edited
'The Rainbow', a national college fraternity magazine. It was at
Harvard, that he published his first book, A Farrago, in 1898.
Ehrmann
practiced law as Deputy States Attorney for two years. He then worked
for a number of years as credit manager and attorney for his brother's
manufacturing business.
At
the age of 40, Ehrmann left the family business and returned to
writing full-time. Throughout his career, he wrote more than 20 books
and pamphlets and many essays and poems that were published separately
in newspapers and magazines. His most acclaimed work was "Desiderata",
originally published in 1927. "Desiderata" has been
published in numerous magazines, newspapers, and anthologies and was
produced as a single record by Warner Brothers in 1971.
Max
Ehrmann died in 1945, well before "Desiderata" gained its
popularity.

 Essential
Spirituality: The 7 Central Practices to Awaken Heart and Mind
By
Roger Walsh
Written
by a man who is both a spiritual practitioner and award-winning
scientist, this is a groundbreaking and life-changing book. For the
first time, Essential Spirituality shows how you can apply the seven
practices central to all the world’s major religions in your daily
life. In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each
of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven
common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine
that exist both within and around us. Going beyond Care of the Soul,
Essential Spirituality integrates the spiritual principles of Buddhism,
Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism into one truly
rewarding way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision,
wisdom, and generosity become an ever-growing part of everything you do.
Filled with stories, exercises, meditations, myths, case histories,
prayers, and practical advice, this extraordinary book has the power to
change your life now.
