"Perhaps the one quality, more than any other, that we human beings earnestly desire is peace of mind," posits mysticism scholar and poet Alan Jacobs. Here he offers an anthology of inspirational poetry, prose, and aphorisms to help us remember there is always a brighter side to life. It includes contributions from Sigmund Freud and Walter Scott on strength; Henry Ford and Robert Frost on money; James Thurber, Mark Twain, and Marilyn Monroe on humor; Oscar Hammerstein, Franz Schubert, and Gypsy Rose Lee on music; Simone de Beauvoir on happiness; and Booker T. Washington on success.
