Perspective on life's big picture,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life (Hardcover)
One of my favorite poems, a comforting and refreshing perspective on life's big picture. It purports to have been discovered in a church in the seventeenth century, but in fact it was written by a man named Max Ehrmann in the first third of this century. I have kept a copy around since elementary school (ever since I learned that Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, kept one in his office), and now keep one in my office at home and one at work.

This philisophical statement is my "Bible",
By A Customer
This review is from: Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life (Hardcover)
My mother gave me this book years ago and more than any other, Max Ehrmann's philisophical statement has offered me comfort,clarity and perspective throughout the years. I would recommend this for anyone who needs wants to be reminded of the simple truths in life. It is also a good present for someone special in your life.

Life---As it should be!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life (Hardcover)
I have a copy of Desiderata, eighth edition, published by Brooke House, Los Angeles, illustrated by Emil Antonucci. I would like to order copies of this edition. Is that possible? Life's lessons have never been so simply and eloquently stated. So many of us need to be reminded!!!
