<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Time and again, luminaries such as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross warmed to author Bill Elliott's heartfelt longing for meaning behind the workings of the world. In this collection of fresh and joyful wisdom gathered from across the globe, their views and those of 17 others are framed by Elliott's endearing voice--engaging and remarkably perceptive--and by his wonderfully warm sense of humor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With intrepid good spirits, author Bill Elliott interviews the world's foremost spiritual figures, acquainting us with their exuberant earthly charms as well as their insight and intelligence. Propelled since childhood by the untimely deaths of his parents, Elliott traveled the globe to meet with these luminaries and directly find out their answers to the fundamental questions of existence: What is life's purpose? What is God or Ultimate Reality? Why do people suffer? Does a part of us live on after death? The list of people he met is both diverse and impressive. Not only do they represent every major religious tradition, from Rober Schuller, Rabbi Harold Kushner, and Norman Vincent Peale to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Jack Kornfield, but also an exciting variety of perspectives, from Ram Dass to Mother Teresa to psychologist B.F. Skinner. <p/>Time and again, the sages included here warmed to Elliott's heartfelt longing for meaning in the world.
