Living the Questions

Parker J. Palmer — who for forty years has written and spoken about subjects ranging from contemplation to community, the inner life to public life, education to social change — is known as one of the nation's most thoughtful voices, calling us all to ways of being in the world that honor the human heart and promote a humane society. Living the Questions, a celebration of Palmer's long and distinguished career, explores the dynamic interplay between the inner life of spirit and the outer life of work. The equally distinguished contributors, who come from a wide range of professions — university presidents, scientists, physicians, religious leaders, business consultants, public school educators, philanthropists, and community organizers — bear witness to the depth, breadth, and reach of Palmer's work. All of them have been personally touched by his courage and determination to live a life congruent with the ideas and principles he writes about and by his candor in acknowledging his own flaws.
