Necessary Wisdom
Jacob Needleman in conversations with D. Patrick Miller
2013 First Edition Paperback
Throughout his career of teaching and writing, Jacob Needleman has always tackled the big questions of life: Why are we here? What is our purpose? In this collection of six interviews that began in the 1980s, Miller and Needleman discuss Making Sense of Mysticism, The Secrets of Time and Love, The Meanings of Money, Searching for the Soul of America, Meeting God without Religion, and finally, The Need for Philosophy.
Time and the Soul
Jacob Needleman, 1998 Hardcover
“Time and the Soul” reveals Jacob Needleman’s skillful use of stories. Readers are introduced to a middle-aged psychiatrist going back in time to encounter his younger self; a mysterious meeting in the Central Asian desert; the mystic master Hermes Trimegistus; as well as stories from the Bhagavad-Gita, the Bible, and other wisdom traditions. Each one illuminates the great mystery of time and helps us address our increasingly dysfunctional relationship to it.
The Heart of Philosophy
Jacob Needleman, 1982 First Edition Hardcover
Philosophy as it is frequently taught in classrooms bears little relation to the practical search for self-knowledge conducted by not only by its ancient avatars but also by today’s truth-seekers. This book provides a “user’s guide” for those who would take philosophy seriously enough to understand its life-transforming qualities. These out-of-print books are technically new, but some copies have minor cosmetic flaws due to long term storage which is reflected in the price.
