Krista Tippett has tirelessly reminded us of the perennial challenge, depth and complexity of the spiritual quest. At this pivotal moment in history, when on all sides religion is being so flagrantly abused, this marvellous book will inspire, excite and reinvigorate the reader. Karen Armstrong
Krista Tippett is one of America s ablest listeners, and in this book she assembles many of the people she has listened to and uses their example, and her own, to show us how many surprising and idiosyncratic paths still remain towards what even the most secular among us can agree should still be called enlightenment. Adam Gopnik
When President Obama gave Krista Tippett the coveted National Humanities Medal, he praised her for thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence. This book is yet another piece of evidence of the truth behind those words. Grounded in Tippett s life of conversation, the book offers more, much more than a chronicle of her award-winning public radio program, "On Being." In "Becoming Wise," Tippett not only gives us the voices of the remarkable people with whom she s conversed on-air. She speaks her own voice as well, a voice informed by her lifelong search for truth and meaning. Wisdom is a communal creation. Tippett is rare in her ability to host a far-flung community of luminaries, listeners and readers, who together uncover the wisdom that lies within and between us. Parker J. Palmer, author of "Healing the Heart of Democracy," "The Courage to Teach," "A Hidden Wholeness," and "Let Your Life Speak""
