How can we apply the insights of great spiritual traditions, and our own experience, to the way we live and develop? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a guide - a handbook filled with information, advice, hints, stories, inspiration, encouragement, connections, warning, and cautions, for the inner journey as we live throughout our lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChop Wood, Carry Water\u003c\/b\u003e contains much ancient wisdom, but the emphasis is on contemporary perceptions.
