Gems From The Antipodes

As the author reflects on his decades of life halfway around the world, he challenges the reader with a potpourri of more than 1600 gems of wisdom that give simple and effective insights into the diversity of spiritual, social, and psychological perplexities that face individuals on a life-journey of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. The chapters collect the gems of wisdom in the context of 12 semiprecious Gems recognized from antiquity for powerfully influencing strength, mental well-being, emotions, and safety: jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacnth, and amethyst. The book is written for the seekers and dreamers of this century.
