Spiritual Notes to Myself + In Praise of the Golden Eye of Heaven (2 Book Gift Set) (Essential Wisdom for the 21st Century)

[2 Book Gift Set] "Spiritual Notes to Myself" is the long awaited sequel to the runaway bestseller "Notes to Myself", by Hugh Prather. A spiritual self-help author Prather, decided here to update "Notes to Myself" with a more mature wisdom that takes the self lightly, and gently laughs at the ego's demands. This fresh and sometimes humorous book touches briefly on issues such as gossip, money, marriage, parenting, prayer, and death, with thoughtfulness and humorous practicality. "In the Golden Eye of the Sun" includes two sections. The first section is about 70 pages, which includes over one hundred poems and prose from different wisdom traditions and authors, including Rumi, Thoreau, the Upanishads, the Bible, and many more. The second section includes an appendix of 75 sun deities from a wide variety of religious traditions. The reader will find both of these compilations a source of insight, inspiration, and calm.
