Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding (Religion and Spirituality)

From Booklist
This parable of a young man's spiritual quest begins with death and moves toward life. When his favorite sister dies, the grieving young Lakota, David, is given a mysterious scroll by his father. Through visionary teachings, David learns how to move past his pain and into happiness. Coauthor Billy Mills is the Olympic gold medalist whose life inspired the movie Running Brave. Now an inspirational speaker and Indian activist, Mills offers through David's story simple, direct advice that cannot be gainsaid. Happiness, he argues, is not a matter of circumstance but of attitude. Cultivating an accepting, reverent attitude toward life creates the best climate for happiness. An optimistic book likely to appeal widely. Pat Monaghan
