Mille Chemins Vers L'Optimisme = A Thousand Paths to Long life

Thousand Paths

by David Baird

We have, each and every one of us, been given a wonderful thing...life! So what are we to make of it, and how long will it last? The quality and length of a life depends upon so many factors. Some things we feel we can control, while many we feel we can't. Long life, it seems, is a matter of luck and good management.

As we cannot possibly know in advance what our allotted time is, it would be futile to waste whatever lifetime we do have in worrying about it.

A Thousand Paths to Long Life is a collection of thought-provoking and life-affirming quotations from some of the greatest thinkers of our collective history. Contains 1,000 nuggets of wisdom to inspire the mind, soothe the soul, and gladden the heart.

A Thousand Paths to Love is a mixture of original and traditional text, with something for everyone in this compact little life companion. A Thousand Paths to Love offers a fresh look at contemporary Western thinking and traditional Eastern philosophy on the subject of love.

These titles are the two newest additions to the "Thousand Paths" collection of thought-provoking and life-affirming quotations. This series has sold over 500,000 copies since first published.
