Book Reviews of Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of LifeBook Review: Perspective on life's big picture Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite poems, a comforting and refreshing perspective on life's big picture. It purports to have been discovered in a church in the seventeenth century, but in fact it was written by a man named Max Ehrmann in the first third of this century. I have kept a copy around since elementary school (ever since I learned that Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, kept one in his office), and now keep one in my office at home and one at work.

Book Review: This philisophical statement is my "Bible" Summary: 5 Stars
My mother gave me this book years ago and more than any other, Max Ehrmann's philisophical statement has offered me comfort,clarity and perspective throughout the years. I would recommend this for anyone who needs wants to be reminded of the simple truths in life. It is also a good present for someone special in your life.
Book Review: Life---As it should be! Summary: 5 Stars
I have a copy of Desiderata, eighth edition, published by Brooke House, Los Angeles, illustrated by Emil Antonucci. I would like to order copies of this edition. Is that possible? Life's lessons have never been so simply and eloquently stated. So many of us need to be reminded!!!
