MATTERS of
CONSEQUENCE
explores the closely-linked issues of becoming a wiser person and
creating a wiser world society. The book explores the nature of
physical and mental reality; the question of cosmic purpose; socio-cultural,
economic, and biospheric realities; inner reality (including self-knowledge,
freedom, responsibility, identity, ethical sensibility); and creating
a life characterized by meaning, purpose, and significance. It
then presents the vision of a year-2050 world worth creating, and
concludes with a discussion of concrete opportunities for personal
action. (A German language edition was published by Verlag
Via Nova in October 2010.)

TOWARD WISDOM
takes the position that the only way to make the world a better
place is to make it a wiser place. We, and the world, need wisdom-based
analyses of our problems followed by wisdom-based action. This book
focuses on the existential, metaphysical kind of wisdom — the kind
that meditation and other spiritual practices help us develop. It
explores the nature of this kind of wisdom, the impediments we face
in our quest to become wise, and various ways and means of getting
past those impediments.

GETTING A
LIFE
is about applied, practical wisdom — the kind of wisdom that Coleridge
called “Common sense in an uncommon degree.” The book is rooted
in the idea that some steps toward wisdom require nothing more than
a fresh look at common life situations, nothing more than an appreciation
of the difference between skillful and unskillful ways of dealing
with them. The book’s 21 short chapters focus on different facets
of everyday life. Its premise is that truths about these situations,
if pointed out and taken seriously, can make a significant difference
in the quality of day-to-day living and our enjoyment of life.
