Show Me The Way:

During a conference a great leader was asked for recommendations for the best books on leadership.  He said, “If you to want a to read a great book on leadership, then read the biography of a great leader.”  That has always rung true for me.  So, I thought that is probably true of finding one’s way to meaning.   If you want to read a book on finding meaning in life, read biographies of those who have lived meaningful lives.   So, we will do just that;  those who want to attend will read the book on their own time, and we will come together each month to discuss.

There is no long-term commitment.  Just choose the biographies that are of interest and fit into your schedule.

April: Jung’s Quest for Wholeness – a biography of Carl Jung

May: The Surrender Experiment:  My Journey Into LIfe’s Perfection optionally coupled with Living Untethered

June:  Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
