Classic Wisdom for the Modern Human Maureen Bakis

The wisdom from the Oracle at Delphi, "know thyself," may be the antidote to the unique suffering evident in our artificially intelligent, algorithmic, change-filled modern society. In her Classic Wisdom for the Modern Human, a seasoned educator, parent, and Bikram yoga teacher invites each person to learn why and how to "travel one's inner landscape" for wellness. The author outlines five simple directions for each person's unique journey to answer the question, "who am I," and shares helpful tools for self-realization. Through journal writing, self-auditing, hot yoga practice and more, readers can learn about: owning and managing their attention; developing deeper self-awareness; embracing challenge; making mindful choices; and adopting a "landscapes for learning" mindset. Designed to help individuals recognize how unhealthy cultural conditioning has shaped their often-faulty perceptions of themselves, this Self-Study Guide encourages each person to engage with a very private, interior exploration of their own nature and uniqueness for a more truthful and meaningful human experience. Classic Wisdom for the Modern Human: A Self Study Guide for Wellness is an individual education plan for wholeness and balance needed both in our schools and beyond, now more than ever.
