Needleman examines Greek (Plato, Socrates), Roman (Marcus Aurelius) and Hebrew Judaic (Hillel, Torah) sources and then steps outside tradition to explain what is most important in examining ethics for man and woman today. Needleman pours out his soul presenting the deepest questions of man. His excitement and desire for us to ...             The Essential Marcus Aurelius (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions)2 reviews Jacob Needleman, John Piazza Tarcher, 2008 Never leave home without him! I carry my Marcus Aurelius with me everywhere. His wisdom is timeless and useful to us all. I am purchasing a few more copies for some friends that I know will appreciate him. If you are looking for the wisdom of the ages...practical, timely wisdom, then Marcus is for you.             The Gospel of Thomas: The Gnostic Wisdom of Jesus5 reviews Jean-Yves Leloup Inner Traditions, 2005 Perfect Translation, Perfect Commentary If you're interested in Thomas, but baffled but what translation/edition/commentary to get, look no further. This is the one. Most English translations of Thomas are a bit too scholarly, detached and clinical. In addition, almost all are translated by non-mystics. The fact is that it takes a mystic to understand a mystic. Liberals and conservatives alike are baffled by the teachings of the ...             The Gospel of Mary Magdalene52 reviews Jean-Yves Leloup Inner Traditions, 2002 Gospel Truth One of the happy outcomes of The Da Vinci Code phenomenon is a wider awareness of the "Gnostic Gospels". Publishers have not been slow to respond, but this precious volume towers above the crowded scene along with its companion titles in the series: the Gospels of Thomas and Philip. The French admire and understand these long-lost Scriptures and Leloup uniquely combines mystical insight with ...             Tao Te Ching [Text Only]18 reviews Lao Tsu, Jane English, ... Vintage, 1989 Simple is best. Of the many translations of the Tao Te Ching I've read, this is the one I consider to be the finest. It's not scholarly (for that Ellen M. Chen's version is worth looking at), it's not artificially modern (as are the versions by Ursula Le Guin or Stephen Mitchell), it's just a simple clean presentation of the text with a short, but useful, introduction and end notes to flesh out each verse. The ...             The American Soul: Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Founders9 reviews Jacob Needleman Tarcher, 2003 Learn What the Deeper American Soul is Really About Jacob Needleman's book The American Soul is a masterful explanation of a deeper America, an America that has been lost in the shuck and jive of corporate greed, a media managed for misinformation and consensus and the professional wrestling that too often passes for religion in this country. Needleman writes with an elegant depth of Soul that is his subject and so he writes as a true and an ...             Money and the Meaning of Life20 reviews Jacob Needleman Doubleday Business, 1994 Not just a book As a spiritual healer I have been recommending this book to clients for about ten years. The differences in their lives and their attitude to money have been simply amazing. Most of them have reported that they couldn't read this book quickly; their head would spin and they'd have to put the book down for several days while they thought about what they'd read. Soon after reading this book they ...             Lost Christianity10 reviews Jacob Needleman Tarcher, 2003 Brilliant Book! Changed my thinking on Christianity This book is a must read for people of any faith (or no faith, for that matter). Having read other books by this author, and having learned much from them, I decided to give it a read. Granted, there was some skepticism ("Another book on 'lost' Christianity?"). These reservations ceased within a few pages. This book changed everything I've ever thought about the Christian faith (and I've read ...             The Inner Journey: Views from the Gurdjieff Work (PARABOLA Anthology Series)1 review G. I. Gurdjieff Morning Light Press, 2008 Gurdjieff and Parabola I'm very pleased with this book which is an anthology of articles and interviews on the subject of G.I. Gurdjieff and his spiritual system, all taken from past issues of Parabola: the Magazine of Myth and Tradition. What makes it especially good value is the inclusion of a DVD of "Meetings with Remarkable Men", the film of Gurdjieff's early years directed by Peter Brook and Jeanne de Saltzman. ...             The Wisdom of Love: Toward a Shared Inner Search1 review Jacob Needleman Morning Light Press, 2005 A New Approach to Love I am the author of this book. Here are several reviews of the book listed on Amazon when the book had its former title. Under the new title, The Wisdom of Love, it is exactly the same book. Would it be possible to place these reviews under the present title? I filled in rating and title so that it could all be sent. Thank you, Jacob Needleman 1 of 1 people found the following review ...             The Heart of Philosophy3 reviews Jacob Needleman Tarcher, 2003 Philosophy is alive! Jacob Needleman is not a bureaucratic philosopher. His teachings are about an intense search for a meaningful life. In this book he talks about some intense experiences in his own life and also with students and their parents. He also presents a very personal overview of occidental philosophy. Many philosophy teachers of our days are more concerned about formalities and structures of thought. ...             Money and the Meaning of Life Jacob Needleman Doubleday, 1991 Usually, our concerns about money reduce themselves to getting or managing it, and there are countless books about that aspect of the money question. But it is almost impossible to find serious and useful thought about the realationship between the quest for money and the quest for meaning. What is the role of money in the search for consciousness, in the pursuit of that transformation of the self spoken of by the great teachers and philosophers ...             Tao Te Ching76 reviews Lao Tsu, Jacob Needleman Audio Literature, 1988 Beyond brilliant Tao Te Ching..meaning Book of The Way, or book of the Word.

It's short, but gives you a lot of food for thought. It's no quick fix, but it does give you ideas for making your everyday life more satisfying.

John Cleese only wrote the foreword.             To Live Within2 reviews Sri Anirvan, Lizelle Reymond Morning Light Press, 2007 Insights on awakening Lizelle Reymond spent five years in a hermitage in northern India. "To Live within" can be described as a system of ideas that have the energy to penetrate through self-deceptions of intellect and through what we take to be "ordinary" life (the illusion...maya...a matrix...a dream) to realize the Real -- a matter of Perception; of Consciousness. Reymond writes of struggles, insights, lessons ...             The Spiritual Emerson: Essential Works by Ralph Waldo Emerson (Tarcher Cornerstone Editions) Ralph Waldo Emerson Tarcher, 2008 This concise volume collects the core writings that have made Ralph Waldo Emerson into a key source of insight for spiritual seekers of every faith—with an introduction by the bestselling philosopher Jacob Needleman.

Hardly, But a Fine Book. Kudos to Mr. Leloup for a valuable contribution (if a somewhat free "translation") to our knowledge of this gem from the Nag Hammadi library, where it lay in jar in the same "volume" as the profoundly important "Gospel of Thomas" for nearly 2000 years. As to the publisher's misleading (and inadvertently hilarious) back-cover enticements, well, that's another story.
