description: Using practical, progressive steps, Paul Fleischman takes us into the experience of attention, focus, devotion, and commitment, helping us find our way to that elusive transcendence which is inner peace - ineffable yet always possible. He describes these steps toward peace as an eight-pearled necklace. The pearls can be strung together into a way of life, the first pearl being simply to seek out peaceful people. Fleischman also incorporates moving portraits of those who have conquered this mountain before us - John Muir, Walt Whitman, Gandhi, Thoreau, Tagore, the Nearings, the Buddha, and others - to remind us how people have persevered in a world fraught with distraction.
