When the whirligig of life has you in its clutches and your dreams seem to be slipping farther and farther away, Michael Lipson offers a fresh perspective on this same-old, same-old predicament. Using exercises pioneered by Rudolf Steiner, he gives ancient yet timely keys to freshening our perceptions and opening our horizons. The six steps in the Stairway are Thinking, Doing, Feeling, Loving, Opening, and Thanking. Practiced for just a few minutes a day, they can reveal the surprise in the universe that is often hidden under habitual attitudes. November.
