"In this delightful autobiography, Smith tells us how he became the dean of world religion experts. Along the way we meet the people who shaped him and shared his journey--a Who's Who of 20th century spiritual America: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, T.S. Eliot, Thomas Merton and Pete Seeger.... A valuable master class on faith and life."
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
As Stephen Hawking is to science; as Peter Drucker is to economics; and as Joseph Campbell is to mythology; so Huston Smith is to the study of world religions. Tales of Wonder is the unforgettable spiritual memoir of the author of the classic The World's Religions, the man who taught a nation about the great faiths of the world, and his fascinating encounters with the people who helped shape the 20th century.
This is more than an autobiography--it's a testament to a life spent chasing the divine across cultural and religious frontiers.
- A Remarkable Spiritual Journey: From a childhood in missionary China to training in a Zen monastery, practicing with Hindu yogis, and whirling with Sufi dervishes in Iran.
- Encounters with 20th Century Spiritual Leaders: Walk alongside Smith as he meets and learns from luminaries like the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, and Thomas Merton.
- The Heart of Comparative Religion: Discover the personal story behind the classic text The World's Religions and the universal truths Smith found at the heart of every faith.
- A Master Class on Faith: A life of ceaseless exploration that offers profound reflections on what it means to be human, to seek, and to find wonder in the world.
