by Will Roger (Author), Chip Conley (Foreword by), Fred Sigman (Introduction by)
Burning Man Co-Founder Will Roger's second book begins at his home in Gerlach, Nevada as he tells his story and how it shaped his beliefs and practices for living in balance with the Earth and each other. Written to be read in one sitting or as stand-alone essays, Will's handbook is one-part memoir and one-part how-to guide for cultivating resilience and action through creative and spiritual practices.
Through life stories and examples from works that have inspired his path and daily practices, Will invites readers to cultivate their Art Spirit as a source of knowledge for deepening their connections with others. As we develop who we are instead of who we think we are, our connections to our true selves and other humans both past and present deepens, opening the way toward the paradigm shift we need to make to live harmoniously on this planet Earth, our home.
Contributing art historian, photographer and author, Fred Sigman, writes of the book, "Handbook For A Burning Age is about igniting a fire within us all. Like fire, it is also about illuminating the darkness of a world shaped by a dominant culture that has blinded us to life's possibilities and even its purpose. Before we can change or reverse our planet's deteriorating climate, we must first change the climate within our souls."
The book includes essays by Fred Sigman, a foreword by Chip Conley, and afterword by Rosa JH Berland. Will Roger is also the author of Compass of the Ephemeral: Aerial Photography of Black Rock City through the Lens of Will Roger (Smallworks Press).
