"During the last years of his life, Leo Tolstoy kept one book invariably on his desk, read and reread it to his family, and recommended it to his friends. This was his compendium of wise thoughts, gleaned from his wide-ranging readings in the philosophy, religion, and literature of many cultures and from his own spiritual meditations. A best-seller in his lifetime, it was suppressed by the Communists and long forgotten. Now, for the first time in English, here is the final volume of that work, comprising Tolstoy's own most essential ideas about spirituality and what it is to live a good life. Designed as a daybook, Wise Thoughts for Every Day offers insights and aphorisms for every day of the year according to a cycle of thirty repeating themes, such as God, soul, faith, happiness, love, anger, and pride. Tolstoy intended his last masterpiece to help people in their life and work."--BOOK JACKET.Tolstoy, Leo is the author of 'Wise Thoughts for Every Day On God, Love, Spirit, And Living a Good Life', published 2005 under ISBN 9781559707862 and ISBN 1559707860.
