Posted, reprinted, and occasionally parodied, it was everywhere, and readers were divided on whether it was profound or kitsch. More than half a century later, in a new era of anxiety and confusion, Tony Thelen tells the story behind this cultural icon, and invites us to savor its wisdom and serenity.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvard University, and the author of \u003cem\u003e\"Enlightenment Now and Rationality\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52764866085171,"sku":"9798999845603","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/egL9v63GIy9798999845603.webp?v=1764601139","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/things-we-desire-the-desiderata-turns-one-hundred-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
