A Calendar of Wisdom

Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul, Written and Selected from the World's Sacred Texts
Book • 1997
This collection is a day-by-day guide that illuminates the path of a life worth living.

It features gems of inspiration and wisdom from various historical figures including Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Lao-Tzu, Buddha, Pascal, Jesus, Muhammad, Confucius, Emerson, Kant, Ruskin, Seneca, Socrates, and Thoreau.

Tolstoy considered this work his most important contribution to humanity, and it was widely read in pre-revolutionary Russia before being banned and forgotten under Communism.

Recently rediscovered, it has been praised for its timeless wisdom and inspiration.
