NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "As inviting, wide-ranging, and
philosophical as an all-night conversation with a best friend, and as
revealing and thought-provoking as the diary of a curious
adventurer."--Sasha Sagan, author of For Small Creatures Such as We
You can travel the world looking for yourself, but if you don't know
what you're looking for, how can you find it? Like Streams To The
Ocean is about examining the things that make us who we are and getting
to know ourselves, our stories, and the decisions that shape our one and
only life.
Writing with the passion and clarity that made his debut, To Shake the
Sleeping Self, a national bestseller, Jedidiah Jenkins brings together
new and old writings to explore the eight subjects that give life
meaning: ego, family, home, friendship, love, work, death, the soul.
Who am I? What am I made of? How much of how I act boils down to
avoiding the things that make me feel small? As he examines the
experiences that shape our conscious and subconscious answers to these
questions, Jenkins leads readers in a wide-ranging conversation about
finding fulfillment in the people and places around us and discovering
the courage to show our deepest selves to the world.
