Description
The book recounts the awakening and journey of the Narrator who seeks to make sense of the questions and enigmas which perplex us and cause more and more anxieties. The Narrator comes across a chance acquaintance. Compelled by what he hears, he embarks on discussions which make up the fears, hopes, and aspirations of us all. These conversations are interspersed with dream sequences with another Stranger. The dreams often reinforce a conversation, with an alternative perspective. Each conversation/chapter focuses on a value which is central to human living, some of which we all get wrong most of the time. These values are crucial to rebuilding human life post 2012. There is a mounting sense of new discovery as one Stranger, Jonathan, peels back the inner layers of the Narrator's hidden self to reveal the greatest adventure of all. In the future, we shall live according to renewed values, not based on greed, power and destruction, but based on love, understanding and co-existence. The diverse aspects of these three values form the storyline and subject matter of this book.
Reviews / Votes
Two Strangers-One Soul is a timely book. At this time of great personal, social, environmental and spiritual crisis, this book will help readers reconnect, not only with themselves but with the natural world. Through dialogue and dreams the author communicates simple and creative ways to free ourselves from fear and anxiety and shows us how to live a life of hope and imagination. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly. (Satish Kumar, Spiritual Compass. Editor of Resurgence magazine) I've read Bob Norton's work before and found it to be precise, elegant and enriching. This is no different. Bob has tackled a 'leading edge' topic with great sensitivity and an enticing style that brings the reader to a point of gentle reckoning with him or herself. By stepping alongside him as he encounters the characters in the book, much is revealed in terms of one's own assumptions, complacency and subtle collusion. Throughout, there is a tacit invitation to think differently about the world and, perhaps, to change the world through changing oneself - in whatever small way is feasible. It is a delightful book and I have no hesitation in endorsing it fully. (Dena Michelli, author 'A Woman's Way: the transformative journey from hurt to happiness').More details
