A Fistful of Wisdom: A Monk's Light Musings on Life's Serious Stuff Kindle Edition

by Om Swami (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 615 ratings
What is the sum total of human life? Are we to keep working towards eternally elusive and expanding goals?

In our continuous effort to be more productive and ever progressive, we tend to lose sight of the beautiful side of existence – its simplicity. A Fistful of Wisdom reminds us that life is playful and it is demanding, but it is also a gift, a precious and priceless blessing. The more we learn to appreciate the beauty in simple things, the easier our survival. This book reminds us to observe and appreciate each passing moment and experience the pure joy of just being here and now.

Bestselling author and mystic Om Swami doles out simple yet profound wisdom about the true meaning of happiness in his characteristic light-hearted way. Inside these pages, you will find a spiritual guru’s lucid solutions to problems and challenges related to modern-day living.

    I was so excited to see this new book announced at the bottom of Swamiji’s blog today (that I obsessively check) I rushed to add it to my kindle and will also be buying the print version. Within this book is a collection of His wisdom on many of the trials we experience in life, and reading His thoughts always brings peace, and laughs! I love to read His writing before bed or when I’m mentally distressed. It makes me feel closer to Him, but it’s also very inspiring and therapeutic. Thank you for this gift Swami. <3

    As an avid follower of Swamiji's teachings, this book drips wisdom in every word, with humour and stories galore. Making very subtle points that can inititate a deep transformation, Swami deftly takes one through situations and diemmas we face in everyday life, giving us the spiritual perspective and how to deal with it. Full of gentle messages, this book is a treasure for the householder seeking peace, divinity and tranquility in everyday life. Thank you Swamiji for this ocean of wisdom.

    I now own every OM Swami book except for the fictional work. And though there’s repetition (as is probably necessary since he can’t assume everyone will own the canon) they’re all great and highly addicting! Even more than the mystic revelations I love how they’re all tempered with balance, common sense, practicality and applicability. This is extremely rare and seems to follow my personal guidelines on the path of at least temporarily setting aside any teachings, theories, dogmas etc that don’t pass the common sense and intuition smell tests.

    This is a perfect holiday gift. First for myself and then I will buy for my friends and relatives. I gave Fistful of Love to many of my friends and relatives and they all loved it. Now this is another gem from Swamiji. Swamiji’s writing offers clarity, peace and joy. Buy it, and you will love it.
