Standing on My Head: Life Lessons in Contradictions

by Hugh Prather

Book Overview

Standing on My Head is intensely personaland just as intensely universal. In this little volume, Hugh Prather teaches us how to see ourselvesin ways that seem both so true (or right) and normal (or obvious) that we can't believe we didn't see them ourselves. This is a book to dip into when we come unplugged from ourselves and it's time to stand on our heads.

Standing on My Head moves with quirky profundity from moment to moment,...

Customer Reviews

A collection of pithy sayings, some of which are quite profound

This is some simple wisdom, easy to read, and to understand. This is practical, pragmatic wisdom. Something like Jesus' brother, James might publish if he were a middle aged American. These things are obvious, and 'not' obvious. Hugh Prather is a skilled writer, and probably quite an amusing storyteller in person. I recommend this book, for folks interested in practical wisdom...healthy applied psychology, and a book that brings smiles.
