Stray Reflections

When asked “What is the goal of a writer?” Anne Lamott responded, “To help others have this sense of wonder, of seeing things anew, things that can catch us off guard, that break in on our small, bordered worlds.” This is exactly what Jawad Mian accomplishes with Stray Reflections, an intimate account of his journey through life and lessons learned along the way. Driven by his pursuit of truth, Jawad digs deep down into his personal experiences and illuminates the timeless wisdom of the great poets, saints, and philosophers, drawing from such sources as Rumi, Emerson, Goethe, Buddha, Confucius, Seneca, and many others. This book challenges you to see the world completely differently and invent your own life’s meaning.
