Inhaltsangabe
New York Times Best Seller
“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 best seller, 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 listeners 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.
Kritikerstimmen
“Jedidiah Jenkins is a beautiful, attentively humane writer whose vivid prose comes suffused with the noble belief that words really do matter, and that through them we can know and be known. There is wisdom in this book, as well as something rarer still: the genuine and infectious faith that the good life - what the philosophers call flourishing - is attainable, and that one really can improve. I couldn’t put these essays down.” (Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White)
“Like Streams to the Ocean is 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)
“It’s rare to find the level of honesty and authenticity that Jenkins brings to his audience. In a world of constant noise, his storytelling is piercing in an almost familiar way. He’s managed to home in on that single idea that we all relate to and truly make you feel a part of the experience. This is the type of storytelling the world needs more of.” (Chris Burkard, award-winning photographer, author of At Glacier’s End)

A bliss
A bliss trough this abstract times...
JJ really brings the depth into his words, they’re not words anymore, they’re senses and feelings.
I adored walk through the countryside with my dogs and that brilliant book reflecting my heart and beyond.

Like a ocean full of love
A beautiful book full of notes and thoughts on self, life, the ego, god and spirituality, friends and family, childhood and the world. Amazingly and calmly read by the author himself Jedediah Jenkins. Already the second book I read from him, I just can say read it and read 'to shake the sleeping self' as well!
