N4L 048: "On the Brink of Everything" by Parker J. Palmer


Listen Later

Parker J. Palmer looks back on eight decades to explore his life in On the Brink of Everything. He shares lessons learned about "Grace, Gravity, and Getting Old" as he travels the arc toward the sunset of his life. Some of his discoveries for a happy life include:

  • Cultivating a rich inner and out life
  • Finding meaning in both suffering and joy
  • Forming friendships across the generations

With earned wisdom counterbalanced with honest, unanswered questions, Palmer expresses himself in prose and poetry. Also, collaborating with songwriter/singer Carrie Newcomer, Palmer shares three free, downloadable songs that amplify themes in his book.
