Tales from the Woods of Wisdom
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“A great book for anyone 14 to 94 or more, Tales from the Woods of Wisdom parallels life. The journey of the fur creatures, through the woods and up the mountain, reminds me of the uphill struggles and obstacles we, as humans, experience. Through the interactions of the animals and the vinosaurs, I am reminded that I have a choice in how I respond to others. The entire book is full of simple wisdom—gems, nuggets, and stepping stones—for us to use along life’s path to create a more meaningful life.”
“As a psychologist, I have found this text to be excellent for children as well as adults. It has, in story form, presented many essential qualities to live by. It teaches children how to solve social and human interaction problems. It also teaches a respect for our environment and the environment and culture of others. I think it should be included in the reading program of all young children. Want to teach your child some valuable lessons to live by? Read Woods of Wisdom to them!”
“While simultaneously restoring your faith in humanity, a journey into Tichenor's Woods of Wisdom provides lessons about living successfully with yourself and with others. The author makes no overt effort to persuade; to the contrary, the knowledge is divulged artfully, making it invigorating and easy to assimilate by persons of any age. Woods of Wisdom also is an idea backdrop for discussing those consequential emotions -- love, hate, fear, and joy; therefore to enlighten 'your world,' you may want to read it with all that apply: your significant other, your children, your relatives, your classmates, your students, your friends and your co-workers, etc.”
“When is there a time in our lives, and in our learning, when Love DOESN'T matter? The answer is never...and therein lies the beauty of Richard Tichenor's book, Tales from the Woods of Wisdom. The characters' playful quest for truth and understanding is founded in the timeless need we all have to love, and be loved. Thank you Richard, for speaking to the Universal Child and the individual heart!”
“Tichenor's Woods of Wisdom provides help for parents, as well as teachers, who are interested in the character development of our youth. Simply retreat into this fantasy world where you will be placed onto a path of enlightenment, guaranteed to enhance the social and emotional intelligence of persons of all ages. I suggest that the reading of Woods of Wisdom is undertaken as a group project, which allows discussions between adults and children. I caution you not to read it too quickly, because you may miss many valuable insights.”
“In Woods of Wisdom, Richard Tichenor weaves a web of practical magic
that bridges the gap between young and old, foolish and wise, friend and
foe. The delightful cast of characters will touch your heart and tickle
your mind, as they laugh, and cry, and play their way to greater understanding.
Fear not, the ancient art of story-telling is alive and well...”
“This fable is definitely for adults as well as children—or maybe,
for adults even more than for children. Not only is the story line compelling
and the characters loveable and believable, but I kept relearning what
I already knew, as the characters so wisely say. Ever since I read the
book, I have been telling myself: Center yourself. Use positive, not negative,
energy.”
