Seven Games of Life: And How to Play - Paperback

by Richard Smoley (Author)

An eclectic, spicy smorgasbord of philosophical food for thought.- KIRKUS REVIEWS

Life can seem to be a serious business. We could also look at it as a game-or a series of games. They include survival, love, power, pleasure, courage, creativity, and the Master Game!

The culmination is the Master Game. Richard explores prac-tices from the great spiritual traditions to show how to reach this mastery. If you play this game, you will reach new heights of wisdom, courage, kindness, and performance.

Richard, the author of thirteen books including G&D's Intro-duction to the Occult interweaves ideas from great thinkers and traditions with his own dry and irreverent wisdom, gleaned from forty years of study and practice, to show how to play the most important game of all.

"There is only one question: what are we to make of this life? Most books that aim to help with that central question fail, because they amount to lists: eat this, pray to that, think about the other thing, follow one truth, carry this thingamabob. Richard Smoley offers something better. It is like a conversation with a wise friend who trusts you, talking about this reality so you're better able to relate to the ones beyond. - Quentin Hardy, Head of Editorial, Google Cloud
