Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation.Consolations invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityISBN: 9781786897633Edition: MainPublisher: Canongate BooksLanguage: EnglishItem Height: 220mmItem Length: 144mmItem Width: 22mmItem Weight: 301gAuthor: David Whyte, Maria PopovaContributor: Maria Popova (Introduction by)Type: PhilosophyRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
