Next Places: Second Edition

By Harvey Sarles

Next Places is a book for anyone reaching a point of change in life--the young adult moving from school to the world, the professional who is no longer satisfied with his or her work, the person making the transition to another town or a new relationship, the baby boomer contemplating how life will be once out of the workplace, or an older person continuing to open up new paths toward wisdom. Rather than laying out a universal quick fix for dealing with change, Harvey Sarles's meditations entice readers to find their own senses of self-clarity. The idea is to handle change by growing oneself in one's own terms, whatever these might be at any given time in life. Each person's path will reveal itself in ongoing meditations. But Next Places is not just for the individual who is experiencing life change. It is a rich compass for any reader who is interested in self-exploration and contemplation.

Transformative

Next Places is page after page of short aphorisms, each lending insight, tapping a chisel into the great rock we call the foundation of our lives. Each aphorism finds a crevice, inserts a wedge, and opens up the crack a little further. Keep turning the pages and the walls keep coming down. Then the pages give hints to build you up again. If you are looking for a fun or relaxing read, this may not be for you. If you want to engage in deep, personal reflection, this is a spiritual book that will carry you along with grace.
