Synopsis
Author, speaker, psychologist, and spiritual guide Robert J Wicks opens a window into his personal life, relating stories of the people and places that shaped his spiritual perspective in youth and early in his professional career. Now in paperback, Streams of Contentment shows Wicks as a New York City boy spending summers on his uncles farm in the Catskills. He highlights the resonance between life in the country and the insights of spiritual writers on gratefulness and mindfulness, concluding: The crucial calling for me now is to be content with who and where I already am. With characteristic charm and insight, Wicks offers a simple prescription for finding contentment: have low expectations and high hopes, recognise that a little silence and solitude is no small thing, and discover the surprising power of humility. He also includes 30 brief reflections and simple practices for discovering contentment. In 15 poignant, sometimes humorous, and always instructive lessons, Wicks builds on the insights first developed in Riding the Dragon to demonstrate how contentment is found through simplicity, gratitude, and compassion.
