Description: Although widely read and admired, this biblical book known for such phrases as "vanity of vanities" has often been seen as cryptic, and even cynical. This profound and contemporary reading presents the book of Ecclesiates, long attributed to King Solomon, as the work of a realist with the instincts of a Zen master, seeking a path away from illusion and toward true enlightenment. With a poet's skill and grace, Rami Shapiro highlights this ancient book's timeless wisdom and its real-world relevance, at the dawn of the 21st century.
-- Shapiro consults on leadership and personal growth to businesses that include CBS Television, Burger King, and Carnival Cruise Lines.
-- Shapiro does for Ecclesiastes what Stephen Mitchell did for the Tao Te Ching.
