When the Dog Speaks, the Philosopher Listens

Exclusively at SBMA and written by Nigel McGilchrist, a favorite study leader on SBMA travel programs. Author and travel writer extraordinaire Pico Lyer calls it “An uncommonly beautiful and wise illumination of both beauty and wisdom. Few scholars write with the open-heartedness and humanity of Nigel McGilchrist; and few travelers can draw upon his extraordinary range and erudition. This is the rare book that opens up a figure who for most of us is just a name, teaches us volumes about the ancient world and, finally, gives us a sense of how to live, with music, in humility, exalted.”
