SW07: My Body Before the Mirror

Read the Transcript
Irwin draws his teachings from sources that are ancient and contemporary, from sources that include the deepest wisdom of the Jewish tradition and the findings of today's most insightful thinkers and spiritual explorers. A lifetime of study and teaching combine with a pragmatic sense for what is most true to our own experience to yield the lessons that he sets forth in the Simple Wisdom series.

Wanting to share with you the sources that have been so important to the development of his own teaching, he places some of them before you here, hoping that they will inspire and enliven your own untracked adventure in living.
