Description
We all have indistinct outlines of our life’s trajectory, but we need to formulate a much clearer guiding principle of existence and learn the art of living. From our accumulated knowledge base, we need some generic guideposts. Eight Brief Lessons on Life provides these guideposts. Its lessons evolve from a highly condensed distillation of thousands of years of wisdom—uncommon common sense. It provides a template for the essence of being, becoming a grown-up, and living a joyful and successful life.

A masterpiece. Eight Brief Lessons on Life is a brilliant and evocative foray into the deepest yearnings of the human mind and soul.
Deepak Chopra, author of You Are the Universe

Amid all the fluff in spiritual language and experiments today, Byram Karasu is a rock. Eight Brief Lessons on Life has a powerful structure but a strong emotional impact as well. I loved this book and felt it was written for me at this time in my life. I suspect others will feel the same way. If you haven’t read Dr. Karasu's books, start with this one. It is solid, 21st-century theology/depth psychology that will point you in the right direction.
Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Gospel: The Book of Matthew
