Reviews / Votes
'Parke encourages us to live in the present, to fear nothing. This is a spiritual book for those who sense there is a journey to be had' * Yoga magazine * 'Parke offers a rugged, spiky path of challenge and ridicule for what you might presently hold dear, expressed in a sympathetic, lucid style that mixes humane anecdote with deft borrowings from Buddhism or the Stoics' * Guardian *More details
