Necessary Wisdom: Jacob Needleman Talks About God, Time, Money, Love, and the Need for Philosophy

Philosopher Jacob Needleman has been teaching and writing about the riches of the inner life for four decades, giving a sophisticated but accessible perspective on the big questions of existence. A popular professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University who has been featured on Bill Moyers World of Ideas series, Needleman s most recent works include What is God? and An Unknown World. Only one journalist has consistently followed Dr. Needleman's career over many years: Fearless Books founder D. Patrick Miller. Since 1989 he has conducted six feature interviews with Dr. Needleman on these subjects: Making Sense of Mysticism; Searching for the American Soul; The Secrets of Time and Love; The Meanings of Money; Meeting God Without Religion; and The Need for Philosophy. In this remarkable book of searching yet down-to-earth dialogues, readers will discover the keys to their own practice of philosophy, "the love of wisdom."
