A masterpiece. Eight Brief Lessons on Life is a brilliant and evocative foray into the deepest yearnings of the human mind and soul. -- Deepak Chopra, author of You Are the Universe
Amid all the fluff in spiritual language and experiments today, Byram Karasu is a rock. Eight Brief Lessons on Life has a powerful structure but a strong emotional impact as well. I loved this book and felt it was written for me at this time in my life. I suspect others will feel the same way. If you haven’t read Dr. Karasu's books, start with this one. It is solid, 21st-century theology/depth psychology that will point you in the right direction. -- Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Gospel: The Book of Matthew
