An extraordinary and startlingly original sequel to Ishmael

“Enthralling, shocking, hope-filled, and utterly fearless, Daniel Quinn leads us deeper and deeper into the human heart, history, and spirit. In My Ishmael, Quinn strikes out into entirely new territory, posing questions that will rock you on your heels, and providing tantalizing possibilities for a truly new world vision.” (Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers & Healers)

When Ishmael places an advertisement for pupils with “an earnest desire to save the world”, he does not expect a child to answer him. But 12-year-old Julie Gerchak is undaunted by Ishmael’s reluctance to teach someone so young and convinces him to take her on as his next student. Ishmael knows he can't apply the same strategies with Julie that he used with his first pupil, Alan Lomax - nor can he hope for the same outcome. But young Julie proves that she is ready to forge her own spiritual path and arrive at her own destination. And when the time comes to choose a pupil to carry out his greatest mission yet, Ishmael makes a daring decision - a choice that just might change the world.

these books are some of the most important to who I am as a person. they have truly changed my worldview. at first for the negative but eventually for the positive. this is a book I think about everyday and when conversations get deep with someone I've often refrnaced these ideas. I'm amazed it isn't more popular. this one in particular only added another perspective to the story and an insightful one at that.

another fantastic perspective

No matter if you are into Camus or Existentialism or the TaoTeChing, these all operate within the framework of what is wrong with the world. Quinn shows us how to get it all back and it is there for us to take.

I'll miss you Ishmael, what a beautiful book series with such beautiful and tantalizing ideas. What if there was a better way? What if all we know isn't actually all we know?

I started to listen to the series and I was amazed..So many new ideas, so much an interesting way of writing. Then this book took that to the next level.

The ideas in this book are complementary with the ideas discussed in Ishmael. But this book ads more context and a new level of depth.

Totally worth reading or listening to the audio book.

I've had an amazing experience listening to this book. The narrator voice(s!) and subtle changes of characters are a must.
The story is a masterpiece, a perfect complement for Ishmael I've listen a while ago. Thank you Audible for bringing this to life.
