Summary

The lessons here are drawn from the themes presented by such spiritual guides as Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, and Abraham Heschel; from the contributions of eastern thinkers such as David Brazier, Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron and others; and from Buddhist writers such as Sogyal Rinpoche. The long-lasting results will help all of us enjoy our lives more fully. The lessons will also have healing impact upon those with whom we interact -- no small gift in a world presently experiencing such dark times. Book jacket.

Dr. Wicks, who received his doctorate in psychology from Hahnemann Medical College, is a graduate of both Fairfield and St. John's Universities.

He is a frequent lecturer in the United States, Canada, India, Europe, Central America, Asia, and New Zealand. He has worked with professionals from the English-speaking international community in Cambodia helping the Khmer people rebuild their nation following years of terror and torture; and was also responsible for the psychological debriefing of relief workers evacuated from Rwanda during its bloody civil war.
