National Bestseller

This inspiring book by Wayne Dyer, the author of the bestselling classics "Your Erroneous Zones" and "Pulling Your Own Strings," delves into the teachings of intellectuals from our past in order to mine values and wisdom for the present. Dyer poses the question, "What do our ancestral scholars, whom we consider the wisest and most spiritually advanced, have to say to us today?" The answer lies in this powerful collection of writings, poems, and sayings by some of the greatest thinkers of the past twenty-five centuries.

In succinct original essays, Dyer sets out to explain the meaning and context of each piece of wisdom, and, most importantly, to explain how we can actively apply these teachings to our modern lives. From sixty ancestral masters – including Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, Jesus, Emily Dickinson, and Emerson – this book presents treasured passages on a variety of subjects, such as solitude, time, and passion.

Among the contributions are words on inspiration from Pantanjali, the author of the Hindu classic "Yoga Sutras"; teachings about the power of prayer from the 13th-century monk St. Francis of Assisi; and thoughts about the importance of action written by Mother Teresa. The voices collected in this book cut across a wide range of historical eras and cultures, yet they communicate universal truths about the human experience.

"Wisdom of the Ages" provides us with a marvelous dual opportunity: to receive guidance from our great ancestors and to recognize our own potential for greatness. By delving into the teachings of these intellectual and spiritual giants, Dyer invites us to tap into the timeless wisdom that can enrich our lives and help us unlock our own inner power and potential.

This book is a testament to the enduring value of the human spirit and the timeless insights that can be gleaned from the great thinkers and leaders of the past. It serves as a beacon, guiding us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, and inspiring us to strive for our own greatness, just as those who have come before us have done.
