    About this ebook

    Seldom does a book come along that speaks to the core issues of life with such clarity and wisdom. This profound book is deeply informed by the spiritual traditions of the West, the Far East, and the Native Americans, with whom the author has worked. It is a small treasure of wisdom about life’s deepest issues.

    From the Book:
    Life is but a dream we renew each day. It is up to us to infuse this dream with light, and to cultivate, as best we are able, the ways and habits of love.

      SImple Truths by Kent Nerburn is a simple book. However, the message is more than simple. Kent has a way of summing up the important issues in life into a clear and consise message. This is what I would describe as a self-help or motivational book. The author covers subjects in a few pages where whole books arte written that don't offer any more insight. I really enjoyed this book, in particular the chapters on possessions, giving and death. He covers a lot more. There are very few books that I would honestly say I would read twice but this is one of them. The obvious spirituallity that Nerburn has shines through in this work. It's a short read and well woth it.

      Seldom does a book come along that speaks to the core issues in life with the clarity and wisdom of Simple Truths. Drawing on the insights put forth in his widely praised book, Letters to My Son, award-winning author Kent Nerburn offers clear and gentle guidance on such central life experiences as love, work, possessions, strength, solitude, and death.This is a profound book, deeply informed by the spiritual traditions of the West, the Far East, and Native Americans, with whom the author has worked for many years. Its honest authority and moral focus appeals to readers of such classics as The Prophet and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Its simple format and beautiful presentation make it ideal for the intelligent gift-giver looking for a small treasure.
