Quests for truth, happiness, meaning and belonging are universal human experiences across space and time.

First Nations writer Paul Callaghan shares knowledge he gained from his culture and his consulting experience in Leading from the Dreaming, while journalist and screenwriter Brigid Delaney finds peace in stoicism in The Seeker and the Sage. Hiroko Yoda delves into ancient Japanese traditions in Eight Million Ways to Happiness to explain the country’s everyday spiritualism.
