June 2005 I have quoted directly from the jacket cover and the book. Enjoy! The Treehouse: Eccentric
Wisdom from my Father on In The Treehouse, bestselling author Naomi Wolf shares the enduring wisdom of her father, Leonard Wolf, a poet and teacher. He believes that every person is an artist in their own unique way, that personal creativity is the secret to happiness, and that success in life depends on whether or not one values and acts upon one’s creative impulse. The Treehouse is an intimate look at the personal histories of Naomi and Leonard, both individually and in relation to one another as father and daughter. To get the full impact, of course, you need to read the tales. I was inspired just by reading the chapter titles. Lesson One: Be Still and Listen Lesson Two: Use Your Imagination Lesson Three: Destroy the Box Lesson Four: Speak in Your Own Voice Lesson Five: Identify Your Heart’s Desire Lesson Six: Do Nothing Without Passion Lesson Seven: Be Disciplined with Your Gift Lesson Eight: Pay Attention to the Details Lesson Nine: Your Only Wage Will Be Joy Lesson Ten: Mistakes Are Part of the Draft Lesson Eleven: Frame Your Work Lesson Twelve: Sign It and Let It Go You may want to sit and journal about what each of these lesson titles mean to you - your own interpretation of what each one says to you personally. There's a lot of wisdom just in the titles. |
