About this listen
This book is a celebration of the timeless wisdom of humanity. Through storytelling we are able to ponder who we are, how we relate to each other, how to live with purpose and integrity, and how to deal with whatever experiences come our way.
The 1001 stories included in this book span the full spectrum of human wisdom from African parables to Zen koans via Native American, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim traditions, Philosophy and everything in between. Every one of them offers unique insights into the question of meaning, while illuminating the human condition with wisdom and insight.
Stories which may seem simple or even trivial on first reading, often serve to get you thinking in a new direction. This exchange from Antony de Mello’s ‘One Minute Wisdom’ explains how to get the most out of these tales.
Said a traveller to one of the disciples, “I have travelled a great distance to listen to the Master, but I find his words quite ordinary.”
“Don't listen to his words. Listen to his message.”
“How does one do that?”
“Take hold of a sentence that he says. Shake it well till all the words drop off. What is left will set your heart on fire.”
You will almost certainly come across stories that resonate strongly with you, cause you to stop and think about things in a slightly different way, and perhaps lead you to a clearer understanding of what it means to be human.
