An inspirational book that is "a smart, sweeping run through the history of Western philosophy. Important for the way it illuminates life today and for the controversial advice it offers on how to live" (The New York Times). "What constitutes human excellence?" and "What is the best way to live a life?" These are questions that human beings have been asking since the beginning of time. In their critically acclaimed book, All Things Shining, Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly argue that our search for meaning was once fulfilled by our responsiveness to forces greater than ourselves, whether one God or many. These forces drew us in and imbued the ordinary moments of life with wonder and gratitude. Dreyfus and Kelly argue in this thought-provoking work that as we began to rely on the power of our own independent will we lost our skill for encountering the sacred. Through their original and transformative discussion of some of the greatest works of Western literature, from Homer's Odyssey to Melville's Moby Dick, Dreyfus and Kelly reveal how we have lost our passionate engagement with the things that gave our lives purpose, and show how, by reading our culture's classics anew, we can once again be drawn into intense involvement with the wonder and beauty of the world. Well on its way to becoming a classic itself, this inspirational book will change the way we understand our culture, our history, our sacred practices, and ourselves.Binding Type: Paperback

Looks great & saves space
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I couldn't be happier with the look and the space it's saving me. It came very well packaged, even with corner guards on the wood shelfs. It was very easy to assemble and attach to the end of my pantry in the kitchen. That space was just going to waste. The ladder shelf fit perfect and looks great. I love the color and texture of the wood grain, it really goes well with the black metal rail. It will be a little wobbly until you get it screwed down to the wall but after that, it's good and sturdy. The instructions were easy enough to read but I still found a couple of parts I didn't use and wondered what they were for? The parts do come numbered but only on the packaging? Not on the part itself which would have been more helpful to some extent. So just keep it all together with it's packaging and you'll have no problems. Very happy with purchase.

Nice and sleek
Color: Rustic Brown and Black
I’m really happy with the bookshelves overall, I only wish they had taller ones available. It was very quick and easy to put together and they have held up well so far. They look great for the price and I especially like that they have a small footprint when it comes to how much room they take up.

Nice, sturdy and easy to assemble.
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
Worked great for our small apartment. We needed something to fit over our heater baseboard and this worked! However, we had to swap the bottoms and top side rods to fit this way, meaning instead of using the 6” rods at the bottom we put them on top and used the 12” at bottom to clear over the baseboards. Easy to assemble and matched our other larger wall shelf perfectly.

Perfect for our living room, would buy again!
Color: Rustic Brown and Black, Color: Rustic Brown and Black
We couldn’t add built ins because of our vents so went with theses instead and they were exactly what we needed! Very durable, sturdy, and a great height! Bought one first then decided we wanted another! They look great for decorations plus for our babies toys! Comes with everything you need, drywall screws and all. Would buy another if I need it in the future!
