The Invitation

"A fascinating book . . . a must-read for all who want to deepen their relationship with life and living . . . I regard this work as an important resource, one-of-a-kind in its genre, and a refreshing wellspring of pragmatic wisdom."

-Andrew Weil, M.D., best-selling author of Spontaneous Healing, Healthy Aging, and

Fast Food, Good Food



"A great book . . . an important work by two amazing teachers . . . a kind of a 'Jewish Book of the Dead,' like the Egyptian and Tibetan 'Book of the Dead' . . . It blends the mystical with the pragmatic . . . a guiding lamp illuminating our path at every moment."

-David Carson, co-author of the best-selling Medicine Cards and Crossing into Medicine Country



"Maron and Winkler take the inexplicable, give it meaning, and return it again to delicious mystery . . . They metamorphose complex concepts into song whose rhythm and melody become nearly hypnotic . . . They give us new ways of seeing that excite and incite to new ways of living. And dying."

-Anna Redsand
