Review of 'The Water of Life' on 'Storygraph'

This is brilliant and introspective. The author guides you and teaches you to become a better reader and develop better understanding of self. The stories themselves are worth reading. A great diagnoses for our cultural sickness.

This is one of the best quotes:

"if the fires that innately burn inside youth are not intentionally and lovingly added to the heart of the community, then they will burn down the structures of culture just to feel the warmth"

This is a good follow up to Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces.
