This is Sheldon Kopp's best book -- simple and profound
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
"All God's Children Are Lost, but Only a Few Can Play the Piano" is an awkward title to a beautiful, inspiring book. Sheldon Kopp is one of the few authors of psychology books who manages to be both complex and inspiring. He will not settle for simple platitudes -- he forces the reader to embrace life, with all its suffering, mystery and paradoxes. He reveals the journey in all its richness without reducing it to the standard "10 Ways to Achieve Nirvana By Lunchtime" formula."In many ways, Kopp's own life (revealed through his books) was a journey to the simplicity of this book. His hard-won wisdom shines through here. Reading this book is like having a cup of coffee with a soul mate. Get this baby back in print!
