The Rapture Of Maturity: A Legacy Of Lifelong Learning
This is one of those rare books that one only realizes, after it gets written, how desperately needed it was. At a time when self-help books for the boomers are both endemic and anemic, this one is a trumpet blast of authenticity, courage, and useable erudition. ----Ronald Gross, author ofThe Lifelong LearnerandSocrates' Way; Chairman, Columbia University Seminar on InnovationA wonderful intellectual journey through the author's own lived experiences as well as some timeless scholarly works on the mysteries of human existence... This book will appeal to adults of all ages who are seeking a mature existence in an otherwise superficial world. ----James Cote, author ofArrested Adulthood: The Changing Nature of Maturity and IdentityAn exquisitely thoughtful book, always provocative, wise beyond words. Mr. Hayes has a lovely spirit and strong insights into the springs of personal power. My highest recommendation. ---- John Taylor Gatto, former New York Teacher of the Year; author ofThe Underground History of American Education
