The Muse Within: Unlocking Spiritual Growth Through Creative Icons

In The Muse Within, Michael Lisagor shares numerous uplifting and entertaining life lessons from 34 well-known artists, writers, philosophers and musicians, that can help us do more than just survive these challenging times. Lisagor also interweaves with humor his own lifelong journey to manage his wife's serious illness, childhood trauma and daily life through Buddhism, psychotherapy, and marriage.
See BooksByMike.org: Mike is also the author of “Romancing the Buddha,” a successful book and one-man show and My 50 Years of Buddhist Practice, and Eleven Life Lessons for Teenagers.
