In this inspiring audio, bestselling author Wayne W. Dyer poses the question, "What our ancestral scholars, whom we consider the wisest and most spiritually a advanced, have to say to us today?"

The answer lies in this powerful collection of writings, poems and phrases by some of the greatest thinkers of the past twenty-five centuries. In succinct original essays, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer sets out to explain the meaning and context of each piece of wisdom, and most important, to explain how we can actively apply these teachings to our modern lives.

From ancestral masters including Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Jesus, here are treasured passages on a variety of subjects, including solitude, time, and passion. Among the contributions are thoughts about the importance of action written by Mother Theresa, words in inspiration from Patanjali, author of the Hindu classic Yoga Sutras, and teachings about the power of prayer from thirteenth century monk St. Francis of Assisi.

The voices collected here cut across a wide range of historical eras and cultures, yet they communicate universal truths about the human experience. Wisdom of the Ages provides us with a marvelous dual opportunity: to receive guidance from our great ancestors and to recognize our own potential for greatness.

“Diana Quick works miracles with Atwood’s dream-like prose and a cast of thoroughly unsympathetic nasties.”

Uniquely among authors of naval fiction, Patrick O’Brian’s characters develop with experience, and although the Jack Aubrey of 'Treason’s Harbour' has a record of successes to equal that of the most brilliant of Nelson’s band of brothers, and is no less formidable or decisive in action, he has grown wiser, kinder and gentler too.

Much of the novel’s plot concerns intelligence and counter-intelligence, the field in which Aubrey’s friend Stephen Maturin excels, and there is action and excitement aplenty, but it is the atmosphere of Malta that is so freshly and vividly conveyed here, crowded with senior officers waiting for news of the French and wondering whether the war will end before they get their turn for prize money and fame.

Reviews

‘A mirror to Nelson’s navy – compulsively readable.’
Hammond Innes

‘Aubrey and Maturin are men to believe in as they come to terms with their comfortable flaws against an exceedingly accurate Maltese backdrop in this, the ninth Aubrey novel. More power to your yardarm, Mr O’Brian.’
