The Celestine Prophecy
James Redfield, 1993
A man follows a hidden manuscript through Peru, learning nine insights that promise to turn ordinary life into something luminous — part thriller, part instruction manual for paying attention.
James Redfield
Redfield was a psychotherapist in Birmingham, Alabama, who self-published the novel in 1993 after rejections; hand-selling made it a word-of-mouth bestseller, and a major publisher reissued it in 1994.
Feels like curiosity, hope and wonder.
Why the most alive moments of your life refuse to last.
According to the Manuscript, we’re beginning to glimpse an alternative kind of experience... moments in our lives that feel different somehow, more intense and inspiring. But we don’t know what this experience is or how to make it last, and when it ends we’re left feeling dissatisfied and restless with a life that seems ordinary again. Books by James Redfield
