Excerpt from The Art of LivingTo educate into life in all its glorious possibilities and make intelligent use of its abundant resources are Within the comprehension of the present intelligence of the race. This book is written in response to a call that would not be silenced, for a plain, practical method of teaching and living that Will lead to a higher development in every direction. To making books there is no limit. Except as a teacher along progressive lines, the list would not be increased by this addition. The title suggests cooking, but that is only a small part of the book. We are flooded with books that teach this art, and the major ity of the teachings lead toward the contraction rather than the expansion of life.Through ignorance - the greatest of all sins - the de mand has become great, almost assuming a mania, for this destructive instruction. Some of the wisest and best who supply the demand are specimens of health and do not hesitate to tell us they would be ill should they live according to their own health-destroying formulas.xviii preface.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
