Creative Wisdom Ancient and Modern, Self Enlightenment and Liberation

This print on demand book revises and updates some of the author's previous work on non-Aristotelian thinking based on the work of Count Alfred Korzybski who argued that creativity is essentially what we would now call the right hemisphere function, whether one is referring to Einstein or Rumi. The book ranges widely over themes including ancient and modern wisdom - there is a good discussion of Seneca, Epictetus and Thoreau - and enlightenment with Ramana Maharishi and Maharaj. The author also points out that much of our schooling is based on words and memory, which bypasses real and immediate insight and experience. The font and layout of the print on demand format does not make the book easy to read, but there is plenty to engage the reader interested in the full spectrum of ways of knowing.
