Publisher: BALLANTINE
"I asked myself, 'What would I like to make a stand for in this life?' Thee answer came in a firm but gentle whisper, 'Love'." -- Alan Cohen For anyone seeking a more meaningful path in life, Alan Cohen's story is an inspiration. As a young man in the late sixties, Cohen began a spiritual odyssey that took him from his conservative Orthodox Jewish background to a mindexpanding tour of the teachings of Jesus, Ram Dass, Zen, Jung, the Esalen Institute, and Einstein, to name a few. In these lyrical, challenging essays, Cohen synthesizes what he has learned from these masters. As he shares his journey, he highlights lessons for us all on overcoming limitations, creating fulfilling relationships, tuning into the flow of life, transformation, finding a personal path, and the greatest gift of all, love. A touchstone for beginners and seasoned students alike, Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore can be read straight through for its enlightening look at the life of one who found his purpose and the courage to live it. It can also be read, essay by essay, for daily meditations on the mysteries of God, love, and the spiritual path. Very positive and in tune with our needs today." -- Leo Buscaglia
