Life stories of personal quests for wisdom
that can inspire and help show the way
Finding Reality: The Journey through Fundamentalist Christianity, Schizophrenia, and Self-Actualization by Stephen Mufutau Awoyemi. An inspiring and personal statement chronicling the growth of self-responsibility and self-awareness in the writer as he struggled through psychotic breakdowns and realized personal and academic success. An excellent and very candid examination of the "rocky road" to personal wisdom.
MIND
FLIGHT: A Journey into the Future is an exciting,
insightful, and wide-ranging personal quest book by Thomas Lombardo
and Jeanne Belisle Lombardo. As the authors describe the book,
"Mind Flight weaves together personal narrative and intellectual
odyssey, taking readers along on the author's pursuit of wisdom
and enlightenment, his search for love, and his quest for an inspiring
vision of the future. Encyclopedic in scope... Mind Flight draws
the reader into the vast wonders and possibilities of the future,
and is a stunning example of living the examined life."
The
Gift and the Given is the story of Jerry Wennstrom, an
accomplished artist who gave it all up and trusted the universe
to open new opportunities. As he put it: "The gift we have
to offer the world comes from the full potential of who we are,
grounded in the trust and faith in a generous, and abundant universe."

Wising Up by Alan
Nordstrom. Leave it to this Professor of English to say so much
in so few words. (MS Word format.)
