Böcker av Robert Stephenson

Making his literary debut at age 94, Robert Stephenson's "Kick Ass Meditation" is a charming read that will keep you laughing until your chakras hurt.Stephenson has crafted a whimsical guide to unlocking the mysteries of your inner world. It puts you firmly in the driver's seat of your own mind while poking fun at the absurdity of our Western pursuit of meaning and endless quest for purpose.This is not meditation for hippies with silent contemplation that constantly veers off-center. This book is about taking action. It's an adventure filled with whimsy and a dash of empowerment.The author's quirky sense of humor is a breath of fresh air in the otherwise mostly austere self-help genre. It's like having a chat with your favorite, totally awesome, wisecracking, brilliantly eccentric grandfather.

In nature, creatures come in all shapes and sizes. They inhabit the water, the land, and the air. The three animal pairings in Aesop Variations are inspired by the ancient fables of Aesop. Their stories highlight some of the similarities and differences to be found throughout this planet we call home. They learn from one another as we learn from them. With each story, we enter into the colorful imagination of the animal kingdom."Two Frogs" is a snapshot in the lives of two happy and quick-tongued amphibians. Bugs and flies of every kind feed this hungry pair. It's a life of croaking and contentment, a beautiful banquet, and an endless buffet.Birds come in all colors, abilities, and even attitudes. In "The Peacock and the Crane," we are introduced to the bird that majestically soars overhead and the prideful earthbound bird that feels most at home when strutting his stuff.For a couple of strong and agile crustaceans, life along the coastal shores has its challenges. Even a crab with a shell of protective armor can tire of the relentless sea. In this story, a lesson learned is revealed in the most innocent among us. Welcome to the world of "Momma Crab, Baby Crab"!
