nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Foreword by Alexandra Stoddard, author of Living a Beautiful Life: 500 Ways to Add Elegance, Order, Beauty and Joy to Every Day of Your Life.'Often we come to a point in our lives when we dispense with thetrivial and tire of ordinary superficialities,' writes Peter MegargeeBrown in Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom. Here he has collected someof the most profound statements of all time, and gathered them intotopical sections reflecting the depth of the thinker behind the triallawyer. Sprinkled with his comments on the quotations he has carefullyselected over many years, sparkling anecdotes and essays complementthe quotations and provide a complete and thought-provoking portraitof each subject. Brown leads you through the great subjects mankind has grappledwith since the beginning-spirituality, love, life, death, friendship-and offers much more-his appraisal of the complexities of character,writing, history, memory, privacy, travel-drawing on the wisdom ofgreat philosophers including Aristotle, Hillel, Voltaire and Hegel,Supreme Court Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Benjamin Cardozo andJoseph Story, the late Tony Snow, writers such as George Bernard Shaw,Ayn Rand, Maureen Dowd and Malachy McCourt, politicians WinstonChurchill and Theodore Roosevelt, painter Henri Matisse and architectFrank Lloyd Wright. A collection that can be read cover-to-cover or flipped throughfor a moment of illumination, Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom willentertain and enlighten seekers of truth. Turn to this treasury forinspiration, as Alexandra Stoddard says in the Foreword, 'Whether youare a reader, a writer, a historian, a philosopher, or a speaker atimportant events-even making a toast-this personal selection willdelight you, uplift you, and help you to Figure It Out.'
