Desiderata: The Classic Manifesto for Living a Happy Life, with Additional Poems: With Additional Poems

A pocket-size edition of the beloved inspirational poem

Written by Max Ehrmann in 1927, Desiderata is one of the most loved poetic works of the 20th century, inspiring readers to nurture peace and contentment in their lives and walk through times of chaos with wisdom. In Latin the title means "things to be desired" and the prose poem offers us a simple, profound vision of what a good life might be.

The ideas of at the heart of Desiderata--to listen to the words of others, to resist cynicism, to keep peace in the depths of your soul--are universal and powerful. These timeless lines of poetry offer a balm to the maelstrom of modern life and a voice of calm in restless days. In addition to Desiderata, the book includes a thoughtful selection of Ehrmann's other poetry.

This edition of Desiderata is part of the Essential Pocket Classics series, which publishes beautiful, small editions of beloved classics.
