A Little Guide for the Times (44 pages) This is Part One of the Embracing Paradox series published by Making Ways. It’s about the ability to hold seemingly contradictory ideas in mind at once, while maintaining motivation and meaning in troubled times. It also lays the groundwork for recognizing our current Complexity of Optics and reorienting towards the Complexity of Love.​ As F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." This book is a step in that direction. As are the resources listed below.
