Description
Original Wisdom: Stories of an Ancient Way of Knowing explores the unique lifestyle of indigenous peoples who live in harmony with the natural world and with each other. Robert Wolff's book reveals a model of a society built on trust, patience, and joy, offering a refreshing alternative to our modern values of anxiety, hurry, and acquisition.
Wolff's own experiences living with the Sng'oi people in Malaysia, learning their language and way of life, provide a fascinating insight into their intuitive awareness of the world and its inhabitants. This book is not just a tribute to a disappearing culture, but also a mirror held up to our own existence, inviting us to reflect on our own relationship with the natural world and the qualities of life that we have lost touch with.
