The Well of Being

Book Description:

The Well of Being, a children’s book for adults, is a journey, narrated with simple words and paintings. It is about the well-being we all long for, yet often only dimly remember and may no longer believe in.

Through thoughtful engaging images the reader will encounter new ideas. Ideas about the patterns of thinking which often constrict our view of who we are and how this world works; ideas about the source of our well-being; about how we become estranged from our well-being, and about how we may recover it.

It is an ancient teaching told with a sense of wonder. Poetry mixes with doctrine with cognitive psychology with self-help with art and spirituality. The book’s originality is not for the sake of breaking rules and being quirky, but to penetrate the reader’s heart and break it. The Well of Being promises to bring us back to a world that is coherent and whole and beautiful. It will bring you the sense of remembering something you always knew, but have forgotten. Its perennial teaching is to be understood and shared between friends.
