"Words of wisdom, works of art",   Illuminating Wisdom brings art and wisdom together in a collection of timeless quotes from philosophical, spiritual and literary traditions.   

Over 80 quotes, drawn from both East and West, have been set to exquisite calligraphy by leading professional calligrapher Deirdre Hassed. The artworks represent a range of styles, from the traditional to the contemporary, and make use of many and varied techniques such as gilding, collage, work on glass, letterpress and linoprinting. Accompanying each artwork is text by Associate Professor Craig Hassed, an international expert in mindfulness, that provides background on the quote's author, explores the wisdom tradition to which the quote belongs, and offers deep insight into the meaning of the quote. The result is a book that is both a work of art and a collection of wisdom that will educate and inspire.
