Awry take on how contemporary culture is antithetical to happiness.
As a mother and teacher, I try to do what Audrey has done for countless others: lead by example, listen intently, and provide a lamp to light the way for others as they figure out what''s best for themselves and the world in which they live. When we look back, we realize how important role models can be in helping to shape our lives. Thank you Audrey Foley, for all you did for me and so many of my friends. You don''t know what kind of an influence you had on us. Thank you,Virginia Metaxas PHDProfessor of History and Women''s StudiesThe wisdom in these sermons is at once concrete and heartfelt. They are the fruit of experience of a remarkable woman who, whatever the pressures of the circumstances, never failed to keep true north, to found her life on a clear and deep relationship to God and to what is means to be a Christian. I had the incredible luck to grow up as the woman''s grand-daughter, to grow up revering her, and seek to make myself in the mold. Her presence in my life has given me guidance when I was lost, light in dark moments. Now, in this book, her words, her eloquence, her reminders of what is really important, are set down, and others may follow her and learn from her as I have done.Lily Robert Foley PHD

'The School of Life offers radical ways to help us raid the treasure trove of human knowledge' Independent on Sunday Henri Bergson was a French professor and philosopher.

These books emphasize ways in which wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us. 'thoroughly welcoming and approachable ... Perhaps the finest, certainly the most exuberant, of the volumes is Michael Foley's Life Lessons from Bergson ... If the six books in the Life Lessons series can teach even a few readers to pay passionate heed to the world - to notice things - they will have been an unquestionable success' John Banville, Prospect 'there is a good deal to be learned from these little primers' Observer
