2What is wisdom and why do we need it? For thousands of years, we've tried to answer those two questions. Yet even the most dedicated students often find the path to wisdom daunting. The Seven Stone Path: An Everyday Journey to Wisdom explores seven archetypal ideas found throughout the world's wisdom traditions, turning them into tools anyone can use to deepen and enrich their lives. The seven ideas are acceptance, surrender, engagement, allowance, enjoyment, love, and integration. The goal of this book is to broaden our understanding of these crucial ideas and root them deeply into our everyday lives. Moving toward wisdom is not an esoteric practice reserved only for specialists and insiders. Cultivating wisdom, like breathing, is an innate, natural process available to everyone. Discover how following the seven stone path will allow you to emerge from a cave of conditioned consciousness a little wiser, a little freer, and a lot happier.
