THE WISDOM OF HUSTON SMITH

Huston Smith has been studying the religions of the world for over fifty years, and has studied with spiritual teachers ranging from novelist Aldous Huxley to Zen scholar D. T. Suzuki and the Dalai Lama. In these collected interviews, Michael Tom, who has himself written books on spiritual work, talks to Smith about his experiences with these men, and plumbs his thoughts on the spiritual issues of our times. The sound quality is wonderful, and Toms is an experienced radio interviewer. The result is fascinating; it feels as if you're eavesdropping on a well-paced conversation that is at once friendly and enlightening. This collection deserves to have the word "wisdom" in the title.
