Learning How to Learn

Beschreibung

Do you know how to learn? This book is condensed from three million words of answers Idries Shah gave to questions from his readers. It's the closest thing he left to a practical manual to his Sufi teachings. He explains what Sufism is and is not. He discusses the connections between spirituality, psychology and self-development. And he throws in quite a few terrific jokes on the way. It's the next best thing to spending time with Idries Shah himself - why not try it?

Autor

Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
