title: A Book Of Wisdom And Delight: How to Fall in Love with Life
author: James Nicholas
description: Written by distinguished Nobel Peace Prize nominee Nicholas (Niagara Coll., Ontario, psychology), this inspirational book offers suggestions for a variety of life's undertakings. In six chapters, Nicholas presents profound ideas from Eastern and Western philosophy, psychology, and literature in the hope that the reader will reflect and enjoy a "conversation" with those eminent writers. If followed, the guidelines should help the reader enjoy inner peace and calm, develop a dazzling mind, experience the joy of genuine intimacy, be ever young in spirit, achieve success, and find abundant energy for daily life. While Nicholas presents a stunning array of quotations and thoughts, transitions from one idea to the next are choppy, and concepts are not always fully developed. In addition, too many ideas are packed into one book, making the text underwhelming. For larger libraries. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  the truth, would Lord Nicholas continue to look on you with love—or would he
  turn his back with condemnation and contempt?’
  
  ‘I could not bear that.’ A tear stole unnoticed down Thea’s cheek. She knew
  what she had to do. She must set herself to destroy any vestige of the
  relationship which might have begun to blossom between herself and Lord
  Nicholas. It should not be too difficult, should it, to give him a disgust of
  her if she really tried? To make him wonder what he had ever seen in her?
  
  No one must guess. Not Lord Nicholas. Not ever Nicholas.
  
  And, whilst Thea found herself reduced to the blackness of utter misery, Lord
  Nicholas Faringdon was equally prey to extreme emotions. Against all the odds
  he had fallen in love. He wanted nothing more tha
