"Sam Keen is one of our liveliest minds. It's a joy to go with him as a guide to the byways of the soul in the search for greater meaning in life." --Daniel Goleman, author ofEmotional Intelligence "[Keen uses] flying trapeze as a channel for enlightenment." --The New York Times "LikeZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,Learning to Flyis both concrete and metaphorical and, as usual, Sam Keen is honest, thoughtful, wry, and inspired. In this book, flying is a metaphor for risk, transcendence, overcoming the boundaries of the self, and ecstasy. And yet, the writing isn't so lofty that we earthbound mortals can't learn from it. ReadLearning to Flyand soar." --Mary Pipher, author ofReviving OpheliaandThe Shelter of Each Other "The topic of flying trapeze promises dramatic reading, but in the hands of literary maestro Sam Keen it becomes a school for living. Combining sixty-plus years of wisdom with the passion, honesty, and enthusiasm of a beginning flyer, Keen conveys howLearning to Flyprovides a path to timeless adventure and newfound joy. Whether or not you plan to take up the trapeze, you can learn to fly." --Dan Millman, author ofThe Way of the Peaceful WarriorandEveryday Enlightenment "With the same derring-do that Sam Keen has approached philosophy, religious studies, and his whole life, Keen offers a passionate view of the freedom from stagnating fears which can be attained by leaping toward the strong and outstretched hands of one's deepest desires. Sam Keen is a man with an examined life, one of leaping, catching, and landing with both humor and verve." --Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D., author ofWomen Who Run with the Wolves,The Gift of Story, andThe Faithful Gardener "An adventure of the soul and psyche. . . . Not only is it tremendous that Sam Keen managed to fulfill his dream at the age of sixty-one, but it is wonderful that he has had the opportunity to write about his experiences for others to share and learn from." --Sarah, Duchess of York, "Sam Keen is one of our liveliest minds.
