Beschreibung
A powerful personal journey to find meaning and life lessons in the words of a wildly popular 13th century poet.

Rumi's inspiring and deceptively simple poems have been called ecstatic, mystical, and devotional. To writer and activist Melody Moezzi, they became a lifeline. In The Rumi Prescription, we follow her path of discovery as she translates Rumi's works for herself - to gain wisdom and insight in the face of a creative and spiritual roadblock. With the help of her father, who is a lifelong fan of Rumi's poetry, she immerses herself in this rich body of work, and discovers a 13th-century prescription for modern life.

Addressing isolation, distraction, depression, fear, and other everyday challenges we face, the book offers a roadmap for living with intention and ease, and embracing love at every turn--despite our deeply divided and chaotic times. Most of all, it presents a vivid reminder that we already have the answers we seek, if we can just slow down to honor them.

• You went out in search of gold far and wide, but all along you were gold on the inside.

• Become the sky and the clouds that create the rain, not the gutter that carries it to the drain.

• You already own all the sustenance you seek. If only you'd wake up and take a peek.

• Quit being a drop. Make yourself an ocean.

Zusammenfassung
Rumi's popularity is surging: Widely shared on Instagram and Facebook, and quoted by Deepak Chopra, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others in the wellness movement, Rumi is often cited as the most popular poet in the United States. He was the subject of a recent New Yorker Trends article, and a Hollywood biopic is in the works.

A perfect read for the wellness, spirituality, and self-care market: The book brings Rumi's beautiful and inspiring words to life-making them relevant today, and going way beyond Instagram and Facebook memes that are shared without much thought or reflection.

Genre-spanning appeal: Beyond the life lessons, the book is also an engaging father-daughter memoir, and will appeal to fans of How Proust Can Change Your Life, An Odyssey, and The Path - contemporary re-readings of classic literature.
