Product Description
Embracing Aging, Changing and Dying
by Ram Dass
Yes, still here, and we're so glad he is! And embracing aging, changing and dying with his much-loved wisdom and humor. Note that the price of the book is the same price as the original (and current!) Be Here Now--$14.14!
From the publisher: 'More than thirty years ago, an entire generation sought a new way of life, looked for fulfillment and meaning in a way no one had before. This was the Woodstock generation, and they were led on their quest by one man, the man who was "there" before everyone else: Ram Dass. He changed the way we thought about life; he left his teaching post at Harvard to embody the role of spiritual seeker; he showed us all how to begin to find peace within ourselves, in one of the greatest spiritual classics of this century, the two-million-copy bestseller Be Here Now.
Ram Dass went on to lecture around the world, to create organizations, and to dedicate himself to serving others. A few of his readers followed him, but most went into business, had children, built houses, and set the larger questions of meaning and fulfillment aside.
Now we find we again need Ram Dass. As we enter the later stages of life, the big questions of peace and of purpose have returned, this time demanding answers, and our old friend Ram Dass has also returned to offer a helping hand. He again blazes a new trail, inviting us to join him on the next stage of the journey. This part has been particularly difficult for him: as he was finishing a draft of the manuscript, he was stopped in his tracks by a massive cerebral hemorrhage that he was not expected to survive. But survive it he did, with his humor intact and a bigger heart than ever.
In Still Here, Ram Dass helps us explore the joy, pain, and opportunities of the ripening seasons of our lives. Writing with his trademark humor and wisdom, sharing stories from his own life, and meditation exercises to integrate the teachings into daily life, Ram Dass offers us a new perspective on the territory that lies ahead. It is a perspective on aging, changing, and dying that he hopes will make the tumultuous process a little easier for all of us.'
