The History of Now: A Guide to Higher Yearnings

Everywhere we look there seems to be trouble and strife, war and pain. But underneath all that lies a spark of optimism that gets us out of bed each morning. This book is all about that spark and the different ways it has flared to life during the time of humanity. You’ll meet the incredible cast of the ‘big five’ religions, mix with hermits and martial arts masters, and get to know shamans, stargazers and scientists. It’s a Who’s Who of those who’ve devoted their lives to understanding the mysteries of life – and in the process, added their own unique flavours to the human soup.
