“Humble the Poet offers refreshing and engaging simplicity for the ages, the kind of book that can pacify an anxious mind or fuel a long-starved passion. I love what this book offered me as the reader. So many great nuggets of wisdom and insight.” - Gary John Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself

“In this era of history it’s almost as if we have too much information, too many strategies, protocols and keys to living your best life. It’s not like a lot of that stuff doesn’t work but it’s often too abstract, too conceptual and layered it only serves to further confuse and paralyze us. For what it’s worth, I’m not fan of the latest thing or fad or new agey discipline that can often catch our attention but ultimately serve no real purpose. Humble the Poet offers a refreshing and engaging simplicity for the ages, the kind of book that can pacify an anxious mind or fuel a long starved passion and all in the turn of a page or two. Every now and again an author comes along who does the work to reach back into the most ancient of wisdoms and masterfully connects them to what it is to be a human being right now. I love what this book offered me as the reader, I experienced being known and informed in its relatable and soothing tones. So many great nuggets of wisdom and insight.” - Gary John Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself
